Athlone Tidy Towns are offering support to local groups and residents’ associations to encourage the development of wildflower projects in community-owned areas in Athlone.
It is an objective of Athlone Tidy Towns to encourage biodiversity and raise awareness of its importance to benefit nature, wildlife and the environment.
No matter what small area of ground that you might have at your disposal, you can now start to prepare it for your wildflower project and join other groups in the town area that have already taken the initial steps to do so.
The condition of the soil is not that important and in fact wildflowers grow more successfully in poorer soil once all the roots of perennial weeds have been removed before planting.
How can Athlone Tidy Towns help?
Athlone Tidy Towns offer professional advice to groups and associations. In addition, they will give some financial support towards specific seeds and plants that your community group or residents’ association will have purchased to develop your project.
All applications will be assessed and Athlone Tidy Towns will give relevant groups an early indication of the financial support that you can use to advance your proposal.
Athlone Tidy Towns can be contacted by email: [email protected] or via messenger on Facebook.
