Our Work
Conservation Services has been creating school gardens since 2005. We are the foremost creator of wildife gardens and outdoor classrooms for schools in Ireland.
Our outdoor classrooms have been installed in over a hundred schools, parks and community areas nationwide.
We have designed and built complex gardens for schools often from scratch with nothing but a concrete yard to work with. We also frequently build gardens designed by Paddy Madden for schools.
Some of our projects are outlined here.
