The Hedgerows Ireland team had a stand at the showgrounds at Nenagh on a blustery but fine and sunny day with a huge crowd and lots of interest in everything to do with our native hedges including advice on planting and maintaining as well as information on all the wildlife associated with our native hedgerows.

There was a hedgerow quiz with a prize of a pair of binoculars kindly donated by a supporter. The winning entry in the quiz was drawn by Katie Gleeson, columnist with the Nationalist and also National Dairy Awards Winner 2025 and the winner of the binoculars was Leanne Coen from Nenagh.

A very popular feature at this year's stand was the Living Hedge aka DJ and videographer Paul Kelly from Cahir who dressed up as a hedge and amused unsuspecting passers by with loud noises and even the occasional jet of water from a water pistol concealed beneath his hedge disguise!

Pictures include: Katie Gleeson picking the winning entry for the hedgerow quiz, with Alan Moore, and Leanne Coen prize winner being presented with her binoculars by Alan Moore, Paul Kelly disguised as a hedge, and later emerging from his disguise.
