Order your Window boxes €10, Hanging Baskets €10. Closing date is Friday 29th April 2011.
The aim of this project is to encourage residents to display window boxes and hanging baskets. This adds colour to our Parks, lift the spirit of the community, promote and improve the image of Moyross in a positive way.
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. This is the 6th year and to date the committee have filled 970 window boxes and hanging baskets.
You can place your orders in the boxes provided, along with your name, Address and Contact Details at the reception of the Moyross Community Enterprise Centre and the Credit Union Office in Moyross. Only those with orders and contact details in the boxes will avail of this offer. Get your name and address in early to avoid disappointment. After the closing date you will be contacted with the time and date to collect your order.
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 wish to thank all the members of the Flower Project Committee for all their hard work, time and commitment, Nuala O Connell, Anna Price, Deirdre Bond Ryan, Kathleen McCarthy, Deirdre O Driscoll, Eileen Ryan and Eileen Sheehan. 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. Paul Partnership under Community Development funded the project in 2006 which helped to purchase the materials making this a self sustainable project. Now the project generates its own revenue from the sales. This year we acquired funding from the RAPID (Revitalising Areas by Planning, Investment and Development) to expand the project further.
