Sep 2012 - Polytunnel suffering from neglect

September 2012 - the polytunnel  was suffering from some neglect...
I think the pictures speak for themselves much progress since then.

"Leaba Sonny", to the rear of the hall, named after the owner of the land on which the gaelscoil now stands. The green item to the left is a compost bin. 







--------------------

The compost bin is fed left over fruit, fruit skins, tea-bags, etc., and will eventually produce brown, crumbly, soil-enriching compost for use in the garden.

The dreary boundary wall separating the Gaelscoil and the adjacent Government Buildings.  

The plan is to paint the wall, add a trellis or guide wires to the timberwork and train creeping plants on this - Wisteria ?, Clematis ?, etc.
