Special calendar featuring Mayo's Butterfly Garden launched

A unique Mayo calendar, featuring a special garden, has been launched.

The first ever Butterfly Garden calendar has lots of beautiful images from the unique garden in Swinford, which honours all the little babies who couldn't stay.

All proceeds raised from the calendar are going towards the Butterfly Garden maintenance fund for its general upkeep.

Calendars are €10 each (postage extra). To order, call or text Anita on (087) 9794338.

The award-winning Butterfly Garden is the first of its kind in Ireland. This unique place where babies lost too soon are remembered has been embraced by all in the local community and beyond.

People who have suffered the trauma of losing a child are constantly reminded of their loss but the Butterfly Garden offers them a space that is a show of joy and celebration of life.
