Pledge your Garden for Pollinators

16 May 2026

A message from Clontarf Residents’ Association:

We can all make our gardens, whether big or small, a better space for pollinators. Some simple steps include:

  • Reducing mowing to allow dandelions, clovers etc to grow and create a short flowering meadow – but, avoid using wildflower seed mixes
  • Avoiding using chemicals
  • Planting nectar and pollen rich plants
  • Adding pollinator-friendly trees, shrubs or a native hedgerow
  • Creating nesting habitats for pollinators – but, avoid large bee or insect hotels

Lots more info on suitable plants and the pollinators that they will attract can be found by downloading the Pledge your Garden for Pollinators guide here.
