A gorgeous sunny Sunday at Afra’s free plant table, with lots of happy gardeners! 🪴🌸🌼

Tramore Pottery children’s class has been selected to exhibit at Bloom! They’re going to make a mini replica of the sand dunes 👏 This week the children visited the dunes with us to learn more about the area, and they even planted some marram grass! We can’t wait to see their creation at Bloom!

We were delighted to be joined at our beach clean this week by some of our members’ children enjoying their Easter holidays 🐣 So inspiring to see the next generation learning how important it is to protect our birds and marine life 🐦🦆🦢🦈🐙🦀

If you find plastic spades, buckets and other children's toys that have been washed in with the tide, please put them in the Borrow Box so they can be reused by other children instead of being carried back out to sea 🏖

It's #WorldWaterDay2026💧
Water plays a huge part in our lives, but it's a finite resource - the amount on Earth will never increase, so it's important to conserve what we have💦
