**Abbeyleix Tidy Towns Reveals Winners of "No Mow May" Competition for Lawn Art**

Abbeyleix Tidy Towns is excited to announce the winners of its "No Mow May - Pollinator Lawn Art Competition." This fun contest encouraged people to let their lawns grow freely to help bees and other pollinators.

After a month of creativity, three outstanding entries were chosen:

- Students from Scoil Mhuire impressed the judges with innovative designs like "Scoil Mhuire Initials," "Love Heart," "Butterfly," and "Summer Swirl."

- Kieran from Tullyroe wowed everyone with his beautiful "Butterfly" and "Fox" designs.

- Rosie from Thornberry created an elegant "Figure of 8" pattern which also caught the judges' attention.

The goal of this inaugural competition was to raise awareness about pollinators and create lively habitats. Participants didn't cut their grass and let wildflowers grow, which helps biodiversity.

"We're amazed by how creative and enthusiastic everyone was," said Robbie Quinn, Chairperson of Abbeyleix Tidy Towns. "The 'No Mow May' idea really took off!"

The winning designs were chosen based on creativity, visual appeal, and how much they helped pollinators. Each winner was awarded with a voucher for Mueller & O'Connell Artisan Bakery.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, especially the students from Scoil Mhuire, Kieran, and Rosie! Keep an eye out for more fun projects from Abbeyleix Tidy Towns.
