Tidy Towns
Growing Community Through Nature
Supporting Tidy Towns Success Through Smart Planting
Success in the Tidy Towns competition isn’t just about neat flower beds – it’s about creating sustainable, biodiverse spaces that enhance your community year-round. With years of experience supporting groups across Limerick, we understand what judges look for and how to achieve it within volunteer-managed budgets and timeframes.
What We Offer
On-Site Consultation & Planning
We’ll visit your town or village to assess existing beds, containers, and public spaces. Together, we’ll identify opportunities for improvement and create a practical action plan that your volunteers can implement with confidence.
Group Session Package
A comprehensive 2-hour on-site consultation with your committee, including walking assessment of all planting areas, group Q&A and advice session, comprehensive planting plan and maintenance guide, plus follow-up email support for the season.
Smart Planting Strategies
Our recommendations focus on pollinator-friendly native plants that support biodiversity, combinations that provide extended seasonal interest from spring through winter, low maintenance plants that thrive with minimal intervention, drought-tolerant varieties that reduce watering needs, and sustainable, peat-free approaches.
