🌸 Geosphere Mosaic Floor Celebration at Enniscorthy Community Allotments
A Celebration of Art, Nature, and Community
We are delighted to celebrate the unveiling of the Geosphere Mosaic Floor & Butterflies at the Enniscorthy Community Allotments. This beautiful community art project, designed and led by artist Helen McLean, was created in collaboration with local allotment members and friends.
The mosaic, made from thousands of tiles pieced together over many months, now rests proudly in our allotments — a lasting symbol of creativity, nature, and community spirit.
About the Mosaic Project
The design of the mosaic celebrates local flora and fauna, with a flower at the centre in soft pinks and purples. At its heart, a honeybee reminds us of the importance of pollinators to our world. Around the flower are images of the creatures that share our gardens — hedgehogs, ladybirds, butterflies, dragonflies, squirrels, and birds — each representing the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting it.
Alongside the main mosaic, butterfly pieces were created with allotment members during workshops. These artworks symbolise both the fragility of nature and remembrance of loved ones who were part of our journey but are no longer with us.
This project has been a true act of community art: neighbours came together, sharing skills, laughter, and stories as they assembled tiles into colour and meaning.
