Wonderful to see so many familiar faces celebrating #WorldWetlandDay in my home village of Geashill.
Geashill Tidy Towns created the #Raingarden & #Wetlands area a few years ago and it’s really added to the village - and of course to the diversity too!

We had a great turnout for our tidy up of old vegetation around our ponds and wetlands today - on a lovely sunny Sunday morning.
This clears the ground for fresh Spring growth, which can only be around the corner.

The rain garden is properly embedded now - there’s a lovely picnic area, a hidden geocache & gorgeous sculptures (by Holger Lönze).
Do watch the video to get a sense of its glory in sunlight (remember that?!?)
