Recently the students undertaking a Fetac 5 Major award in Horticulture through the Education Training Board in Gweedore led the way at a intergenerational tree planting event in Gweedore Day Centre.
The students joined forces with the kids from the Ionad Naomh Padraig summer scheme and residents of the Gweedore Day Centre to plant a mix of ornamental trees around the grounds of the Day Centre. This tree planting marked the last day of the Ionad Naomh Padraig summer scheme, and allowed the National Learning Network Horticulture trainees to showcase their practical skills, and leave another lasting legacy of their Horticultural training with the community. My thanks to the management and staff of the Gweedore Day Centre for some wonderful hospitality, and to Mary Coyle and staff in Ionad Naomh Padraig for joining forces with us on this event.
