THE Blessington Allotments Campaign has now completed their two-year project to help local children grow their own food and learn about pollinators, with one final delivery of strawberry plants to bring the total pollinator friendly plants given away up to 1,100.
“Children are extremely passionate about the environment. They’re alarmed by the stories that they read and hear about global warming and want change,” said Sean McMahon, a former president of the Irish National School Teachers’ Organisation (INTO), who has been leading Self Help Africa’s ‘One Million Trees’ campaign in our schools to raise awareness on climate change.
