As the sun sets, the Moon Garden comes to life. Created by Newport Tidy Towns this special garden is packed with beautiful, scented flowers that attract moths, beetles, bats, and other night-time pollinators. These often-overlooked creatures play a huge role in keeping our ecosystems healthy and thriving. By planting species like honeysuckle, red campion, and night-scented stock, we’re creating a welcoming space for wildlife while adding beauty to our community. The Moon Garden, located beside the medical centre on the bank to the viaduct, is a simple reminder that even after dark, nature is hard at work – and together we can help it flourish.

The Montbretia fight continues …. Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora is still for sale in garden Centres and supermarkets across Ireland. And yet it is highly invasive and huge amounts of taxpayers money is already being spent to eradicate it.
