Every now and then....I think I might as well talk to the dog.😉. At least she listens. I try to bring across my point to ecologists : the importance of certified organic herbaceous perennial pollinator plants native to Ireland for our ecosystem. Educated and qualified as a scientific ecologist 50 years ago, I feel obliged to contribute something to our ecosystem even at my age and being worn out. This year, no ecologist was interested in the thousands of certified organic herbaceous pollinator plants native to Ireland we were growing. It seemed like mission impossible. Only the grassroots, our private clients with responsibility, came to buy our plants. But this week suddenly there seems to be a tipping point: we got orders for 2 public projects, together for over 7000 plants. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen ecologists. At least growing our native plants wasn't in vain. We at Caherhurley are happy to make a contribution to a better ecosystem together, however small it might be. Ireland's insects need more herbaceous pollinator plants, not only native trees.
