Sowing the seeds for a ‘small but mighty’ Donegal community initiative
This Zero Waste Pollinator Project is being run from the Termon Complex in Pettigo is an opportunity to contribute in small ways that collectively, make a big difference for bees and other important pollinators
A Donegal community is inviting people to work together with small actions to be part of a very important community initiative, the Zero Waste Pollinator Project.
A spokesperson for the Pettigo initiative said: “Be part of a small community with a big heart, and an opportunity to grow something beautiful together.
“Everyone is welcome, everyone can play a part, and every small action helps.”
The first stage of the project is a collection of used coffee cups. Simply rinse, dry and drop them off to the Termon Complex.
“Even one cup makes a difference,” said the spokesperson. “Thank you for helping.
“In late March, there will be a community sowing day. Join neighbours for a relaxed seed-sowing morning.
No experience needed and all ages are welcome.
“Take your seeds home to grow and check in on their progress.
“In mid-May there will be a transplant day and community picnic. Bring your seedlings to our shared pollinator area, plant together, and enjoy a casual community picnic to celebrate what our small but mighty community has achieved, working together for a brighter, greener village - because little places can do big things.”
