We propagate our own shrubs, trees and plants as much as possible.  We applied to IOFGA for an Organic Licence and after being "in Conversiion" for 3 years we are now the 1st. Primary School in Ireland to have Organic Status  .  We were featured in the Irish Examiner  on TV3 and in Organic Matters. We are now famous!  We are creating a habitat, where birds, animals and insects will have a safe place to live and rear their young.   Visitors are welcome to visit our gardens, during school term, by appointment -  Phone 091- 844338.   Email: carnaun.ias@eircom.net   Click here to view some of our other school projects   Email us! -  carnaun.ias@eircom.net  SCOIL NÁISIÚNTA CARNÁIN  BAILE ÁTHA 'N RÍ
