Free Wildflower seeds and Trees for Schools /Tidy Towns

Environment & Climate Action Section has purchased a number of wildflower boxes and trees for Tidy Towns/Schools in Tipperary. 

There will be different varieties of flowers in each box.  For maximum effect, please ensure that wildflowers are planted in 100 square metres of ground in soil that is suitable for wildflower planting ie, poor soil areas/unprotected areas.  These wild flowers will attract many different species of insects and bird life.   The best time for planting is April/May 2022.

Among the trees acquired are:

• Mountain Ash, which will flower and have berries. Mountain Ash will not grow too tall or wide.
• Alder Tree which is an excellent species in wet areas and have catkins throughout the year.
• Silver Birch Tree which do not grow too big. These will be bare rooted saplings.

If your group is interested in acquiring some of these wild flowers/trees please complete application form below and return by email annmarie.clifford@tipperarycoco.ie or elizabeth.maher@tipperarycoco.ie   

This is a first come first served as there are a limited number of wildflower boxes/trees. Trees will be limited to 10 per group if demand is high.
