Launch of The Orchard Way, Clondalkin

🌸🍎 Growing a Greener Future with The Orchard Way in Clondalkin 🌿🐝

Yesterday, Clondalkin Tidy Towns volunteers and the teachers and students of St. Joseph’s Boys National School Clondalkin, in partnership with SDCC and the Irish Seed Savers Association, celebrated The Orchard Way project by planting organic Irish heritage apple trees.

This inspiring community initiative is helping nature thrive in the places where we live, learn and gather. Each tree planted contributes to a growing network that supports pollinators, encourages wildlife, strengthens biodiversity, and reconnects communities with nature.

Mayor CouncillorFrancis Timmons welcomed the project, highlighting the important role The Orchard Way plays in safeguarding Ireland's rich apple-growing heritage for future generations.

A special thank you to our partners the Irish Seed Savers Association for their invaluable work in preserving Ireland's rich collection of traditional apple varieties, ensuring that their stories, traditions and biodiversity benefits can be enjoyed by future generations.
