Hometree’s Native Tree Nursery is officially organic! 🌱
We received our Irish Organic Association certificate this week, which means we have now completed our two-year organic conversion period. This conversion period gives the land time to transition and purify.

There's been plenty of talk from candidates in #GE24 on what they'll do to stop water pollution BUT will they commit to the tough changes that are really needed and save our water species OR are they talking more faeces?

Some photos of the disgusting and potentially dangerous algal blooms that are on many parts of Lough Corrib and also on Lough Derg. Galway Council has warned people and their animals to avoid contact. Local communities are concerned and agitated by the lack of action by state agencies.
