Carrigaline Union of Parishes Gets Planting

John Andrew sent ECI this update: two heritage apple trees were recently planted in the church grounds of St Mary’s Carrigaline. Parishioners were delighted that they had been sourced from Irish Seed Savers in Co Clare. Irish Seed Savers Association (https://irishseedsavers.ie/) maintains the country’s only public seed bank, with over 600 non-commercially available varieties of seed. Irish Seed Savers house the national collection of Irish heritage apple trees in their orchards, with over 180+ unique varieties.
