Meadow Workshop

Join us to explore how native meadow habitats support Irish biodiversity and provide essential spaces for pollinators and people alike. You can expect fun, hands-on learning plus great chats with others interested biodiversity & sustainability!

Did you know that Tramore is home to a rare population of Ireland's Large Carder Bumblebee; a species at risk of extinction?  We'll explore how your garden can play a huge role in saving this species with a small patch of meadow.

You'll learn all about meadow creation and maintenance, wildflowers, and pollinators:

• the “hard” and easier ways to create a meadow at home

• the difference between long and short meadows

• how to manage your meadow effectively

• wildflower identification how best to plant wildflowers in your meadow

• common bumblebee species and learn more about the Large Carder Bumble Bee

We'll also learn how to do FIT Counts (Flower-Insect Timed Count), which you can do in your garden throughout the year to help contribute to the All Ireland Pollinator Plan.
