Plantagarden is a community-led project. We believe that artists working in an Eco-Social way can foster our reconnection with the natural world, @sineadster

Lough Neagh is now one of the worst waterbodies in the world for hypereutrophication from nitrates and phosphates ❌

Without action this could be the future for all other lakes in Ireland.

Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030.

We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate

Have you seen our new guide about orchards & fruit trees? 😍🐝🍏🍎

Developed with @IrishSeedSavers, it tells you how to create & manage a traditional orchard of heritage fruit trees, & why they're important for our pollinators.

Ireland’s polluted lakes: ‘We’re on a path to ecological disaster’

As politicians and farm lobbyists row over fertiliser restrictions, agricultural pollution is having a toxic impact on our waterways.

After nearly a year of deliberation tomorrow sees the publication of the Citizens' Assembly recommendations on biodiversity loss. This is going to be big!!

[Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway]

Supertrawlers, sitka spruce, sheep on peatlands, intensive dairying, river drainage schemes, pair trawling the life out of estuaries... all promoted and subsidised through our taxes

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

All the wild native trees + flora that were growing on the road side of the fence, ie the one place where they're not constantly eaten to death by sheep, have been incinerated by fire.

The only thing that has survived is invasive rhododendron.

We just cannot go on like this.

To celebrate #Imbolc, we're sharing a sneak peak of our new upcoming resource 'Top 10 Pollinator-friendly Plants for Different Situations' developed with @noeleenbotanics & @ucddublin

These bulbs are particularly rich in pollen and nectar. Do you have any in your garden?
