Do you part in Ireland’s biggest pollination project now by planting a pollinator-friendly bulb now which will bloom next Spring. It’s a tiny challenge with an important impact.

🎥 Our #StoryExchange project was recorded by @rteone for the ‘Changemakers’ - an uplifting new series airing in January 2022.
The series will feature inmates of Mountjoy’s progression unit and @maynoothuni ambassadors to explore what they have in common through storytelling, as part of their @gaisceaward community involvement challenge.
The ‘Story Exchange’ episode of changemakers follows #CollegeConnect research manager Dr. Sarah Meaney Sartori, as @narrative4ireland continues to partner with the Irish Prison Service and @gaisceaward and Maynooth University Access Office.

CREATING QUITE THE BUZZ
We have had deadly coverage across all papers over the last week about Ireland’s biggest ever pollination project, marking 35 years of @gaisceaward ✨
Just like a Gaisce Award, bulbs planted now need care, attention and commitment over time before they blossom and bloom.
For this time of year, our partners at the @allirelandpollinatorplan are recommending that you plant:
🌼 Alium Moly [Yellow Garlic]
🌼 Muscari Armeniacum [known as Grape Hyacinth]
🌼 Crocus Tommasinianus Barr’s Purple [Purple Crocus]
You can sign up for your special Gaisce commemorative certificate 📜 this Tuesday!

“Humanity depends on bees. They are vital to the global food chain” - @presidentirl Michael D. Higgins
One third of our bee species is threatened with extinction in Ireland. This is because we have drastically reduced the amount of flowers they eat and places where they can safely nest.
As part of marking Gaisce’s 35th Anniversary, we want to play our part and step up. Our Gaisce participants care about climate change and the need for urgent action - this is a response we know everyone can be part of. We will be issuing a special commemorative Gaisce certificate to all those who participate, regardless of age or location!
Every single post primary school in the county will receive 50 @allirelandpollinatorplan approved bulbs in the next few days, along with disability services working with Gaisce, our wonderful challenge partners, and TDs representing every constituency ☀️
You don’t even have to have a garden to take on this challenge. Whatever patch you have will help our vital bee population. From a pot on your window sill, to a planter by the front door - get a pollinator friendly bulb in the ground!
If you’re part of a youth or community group, check out our website in the next few days with info on local bulb pick-up points!
You can also get pollinator friendly bulbs as a member of the public in any garden centre.
Once you’ve planted your bulb - tell us about it online, add a 🐝 to your Instagram name and use #BulbsForBees to show us where you’ve planted yours!
Gaisce President Award Leaders (PALs) all over Ireland received their 2021 PAL packs in the post this week!
