2nd class help Fossa Climate Action Group Get Planting to Improve Biodiversity

2nd class were delighted to help plant some 200 daffodil bulbs as part of the planting plan for Prince of Peace Church in Fossa.  The plan is to return 30 per cent of the grounds of our Church to nature by 2030. 

The children got great guidance from Angela, Mary, Anthony, Jimmy, Diarmaid and Teresa. We can’t wait to see our daffodils in full bloom in Spring  on our trips to the church for our communion practise.
The Action Group’s  plan is to plant 320 crocus, 200 snowdrop,  60 native bluebell bulbs along with our 200 daffodils. The group decided that they would begin by planting flowers that would be an early source of nectar and pollen to bees and butterflies. 
 
We would like to thank Mary Fitzgerald from the Action Group for inviting 2nd class to be part of such a beneficial and beautiful project fostering links with our Parish and helping our environment. Thanks to all our helpers on the day and Fr Geaney with Fossa Pastoral Council for purchasing the bulbs. 

We are counting down to Spring!
