Confey GAA Project

The Confey GAA project is now completed. The mountain ash trees and the shrubs have all been planted.

Jodie Price, proprietor of Leixlip’s long-established Gardening Centre in Mill Lane, has completed the Leixlip’s Tidy Town Association’s 75 metre long by 6 metres wide vergeside bed outside Confey GAA Club. In a remarkable gesture of goodwill, Jodie volunteered his own working time towards the project which is otherwise jointly funded by the Club and the LTTA. Topsoil was brought free of charge to the site by County Council workers during the development of Cedar Park car park. Jodie planted 12 mountain ash (rowan) trees, 100 dogwood bushes and over 80 mixed shrubs in front of the trees. The trees will grow to about 4 metres in height and are planted so as to not overhang the carpark. Low maintenance, low height shrubs have been chosen for convenience and safety.

The project complements the "Welcome to Leixlip" decorative bed installed by LTTA last year. Shortly we will be planting coloured plants on each side of the Club’s entrance which will be in the Confey GAA's colours of green and white.
