Meet Santa Clause at Hollyfort Old School House This year, Santa and Mrs Clause will call into Hollyfort at the Old School House on Sunday 11 December. Visit them from 6 pm and see what surprises they have for all the children. Afterwards, at 7.30 pm, join us for the countdown to the lighting-up of the Xmas Tree on the village green.
Hollyfort Tidy Towns thank Bailey's Toymaster, Gorey, for their generous sponsorship of Santa's toys.
Hollyfort have been successful in their recent Pobal Community Trails Grant application. We can now add four more waymarkers, two extra benches and 350 trees to Mt Nebo trail.
We will also be adding a new path on Mt Nebo which will join the upper and lower existing paths for those who want a shorter walk on the trail.
Watch this space!
11-12.30
Remembering- our amazing local flora and the medicine of the natural world around us. This 90-minute event will be a combination of walking in the field meeting some of the wonderful plants growing here. This will be interspersed with some relaxation techniques that are wonderful to do in nature and bring reciprocal health and healing; breathing with the trees, slow walking and heart resonance with the plants.
2.30-4.30 -Remembering- some simples (home made herbal medicines) and how to make them. A 2-hour demonstration of how to make infused oils, vinegars, oxymels, syrups, salves and some other remedies from the plants around us.
Booking essential. Email Nikki Darrell at nikki@theplantmedicineschool.com
