South Dublin County Council has launched an inspiring initiative to replace autumn bonfires with bursts of spring colour. The *Bulbs Not Bonfires 2026* programme invites community groups, schools, and residents’ associations to apply for free pollinator-friendly bulbs, creating vibrant spaces that support local wildlife.
Applications open on 5 October 2026, with 450 bags of mixed bulbs available on a first-come, first-served basis. The selection includes crocus, muscari, alliums, snowdrops, and pheasant eye daffodils—each chosen for their early spring blooms and appeal to bees and pollinators.
To secure bulbs for your group, complete the application form and email it to [email protected]. The initiative is part of South Dublin County Council’s Social Credit Scheme, fostering long-term environmental benefits and community engagement. Don’t miss the chance to brighten your neighbourhood while supporting biodiversity.
