🌿 What if the most important thing happening in your garden isn't what you've planted? 🌿
Every bee, butterfly, bird, wildflower, tree and hedgerow is part of a much bigger story.
This month at Abbey Blooms , we are delighted to welcome James Haughey, Head Gardener and Horticulturist at Sanctuary, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, for a special event exploring biodiversity, conservation, and the hidden connections that support life all around us.
James will share
🐝 Why pollinators matter more than ever
🌳 How native plants support wildlife
🦋 Practical ways to increase biodiversity at home
🌼 What healthy ecosystems can teach us about resilience and sustainability
🌿 Real-life lessons from managing woodland, gardens, pastureland, wildlife habitats and organic growing systems.
Whether you're a gardener, nature lover, environmental enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys spending time outdoors, this promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking event
And afterwards, take time to wander through the peaceful surroundings of Abbey Booms, a place created to help people reconnect with nature, wellbeing and community.
