Hedgerows Ireland had a stand at the recent Cloneml Show where members handed out information on all aspects of hedge planting, maintenance, and preservation as well as wall posters of butterflies, bees and other hedge life.

Some fine hedge plants for display were kindly lent by John Murphy of Annaveigh Nurseries, New Inn.

There was a hedgerow quiz with a prize of a pair of binoculars donated by David Anchell of Camida Clonmel which was won by eight-year-old Annie Burke from New Inn.

The stand had a visit from An Tanaiste Simon Harris, who was informed about the work of this voluntary group that promote the many values of our native hedgerow corridors.
