The Fingal County Council and Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) Bee Positive Show Garden emphasises the importance of pollinators within our rapidly urbanising environments.

This pollinator-friendly concept garden is targeted primarily at children in a bid to increase their understanding and awareness of the importance of pollinators. Its goal is to help sustain a diverse range of pollinator insect species for the future.

The garden is designed by Fingal County Council and TU Dublin with help from the garden designer, Jane McCorkell, and demonstrates how to create and protect habitats for pollinators – including bees and many other insect species – within a usable, outdoor recreation space. It features a pathway so visitors can walk through the garden and learn more about pollinators. A large honeycomb wall is decked with fun facts and offers a glimpse of the working beehive on the other side of the screen.
