The aim is to Promote and improve the image of Moyross in a positive way. This will add colour to our Parks, lift the spirit of the community and will encourage residents to plant more summer bedding. It will be a sea of colour with a variety of flowers to choose from. It is wonderful to see so many residents making window boxes and hanging baskets. Last year residents from Moyross, Caherdavin, Shelbourne Road, Thomondgate, Ballynanty, Parteen and killaloe took part in the project. The total number of window boxes and hanging baskets filled was 275. This is an annual event in the Moyross calendar
Closing date for this project was Friday 23rd April 2010. Orders with Contact Details were placed in the boxes provided in the Reception of the Moyross Community Enterprise Centre and the Credit Union Office in Moyross. Residents have been contacted with the time and date when the project will take place. Only those with names and addresses in the boxes will avail of this offer.
A project like this does not just happen without a lot of tremendous hard work and commitment behind the sense. Tracy McElligott, development worker with the Moyross Residents Forum Ltd wish to thank all the members of the Flower Project Committee for all their hard work, time and commitment to the project. It is wonderful working with you all.
This project can be repeated in any community around the city or county. All it needs is a few dedicated committed residents to take it on board. The membership of the Moyross is Blooming Great Committee is Nuala O Connell, Anna Price, Deirdre Bond Ryan, Kathleen McCarthy, Deirdre O Driscoll, Eileen Ryan and Eileen Sheehan. Paul Partnership under Community Development funded the project in 2008 which helped to purchase the materials making this a self sustainable project. Now the project generates its own revenue from the sale of the window boxes and hanging baskets.
