2026 Calendar Native Irish Wildflowers with Irish Moths

WILDFLOWER MEADOW  – The images in our 2027 calendar illustrate just a few of the many different wildflowers you might find growing in a healthy Irish Wildflower Meadow.  Each image is painted in watercolour exclusively for this calendar by artist Sonia Caldwell from plants that are growing around West Cork.  On each page you will also read what exactly a meadow is, the history of meadows and the cultural connection with the landscape and farming, along with a few tips on creating your own meadow. Meadows provide vital food and shelter for insects, mammals and birds and their decline has had a huge impact on Ireland's biodiversity.
