Fresh from local and national success Durrow Tidy Towns are already sowing to seeds to make the Laois village shine in 2023.
It’s been about 15 years since they first mass planting of daffodils happened in Durrow. Some of the original colour had faded which led the latest initiative and an associated sponsor a bag of bulbs fundraiser for planting the beautiful daffodils on the approach roads into Durrow.
Anyone who would like to help can drop an envelope marked Durrow Tidy Towns to Lawlors Gala in the square or to our treasurer Rita Casey. They say this would also make a great Christmas gift for family and friends.
