Trinity College has more than 100 birch seedlings after they grew on lawns that weren’t being cut




Trinity College has announced that it is giving away more than 100 birch “seedlings” that grew on the college grounds.

According to RTE, the seedlings came from two birch trees which grow outside Trinity’s famous front arch. The lawns at Trinity are usually perfectly kept but the college stopped cutting the grass back during “No Mow May” last year. The intention at the time was to give wildflowers a chance to grow in the unmown lawns and when the seedlings were discovered, it was decided to extend the “No Mow May” right through until September.

The grounds person at Trinity has said that the seedlings are at the back of the college, ready to be given away to anyone who’s interested.
