DUO – The Dispersed Urban Orchard in Monaghan Town
There are still a few fruit t rees left of this year’s supply of plum, damson, pear and apple for those interested in planting them in their gardens or estates. Our DUO project has ensured a spread of fruit trees across the town of Monaghan to help our bees. This project helped Monaghan Tidy Towns win first “Lets Get Buzzing” National Pollinator Award in 2016 - but we are not resting on our laurels - if you want to be part of it contact us at emerbrennan@eircom.net or through our web site at www.monaghantidytowns.com.
Volunteers Needed to go “Bee-friendly” with lawns and gardens!
Monaghan Tidy Towns is looking for people to go Bee-friendly with their lawns and gardens and the fun part is that it takes less effort, not more, to do it!
We will get you the advice you need and we’ll even donate a few suitable pollinator friendly plants and flowers to get you up and running.
We are especially interested in people who are prepared to take a few photos along the way to send to us and record how things are going.
Interested> Contact us at emerbrennan@eircom.net or through our web site at www.monaghantidytowns.com.

Project Zero in Monaghan
Our latest project under sustainable living involves encouraging people to produce as little waste as possible. We are looking for a number of volunteers (or guinea pigs!) to try to reduce their waste as low as possible or even go Zero waste and help us blog about it on social media.
This project is about finding out how to live a zero waste lifestyle. Is it possible? What are the pitfalls? What are the costs? Does it save you money? Are you up for it?
