FP McCann Helps Decorate Seamus Heaney HomePlace

Magherafelt-based precast concrete supplier FP McCann has helped decorate The Seamus Heaney HomePlace in Bellaghy with Gabion baskets and Ennis Stone.

The solutions were utilised at the facility's Sensory Garden, a valuable resource for a wide range of recreational and educational purposes.

The garden will also provide a space for extending the already existing HomePlace Educational Programme which uses the poetry of Seamus Heaney as a learning tool for primary and post-primary pupils. Some features within the garden that have sensory qualities include; signs with Braille, interactive pens that recite poetry, a fully functioning water well, plants and flowers.  


The Ennis Stone provided a unique and decorative finish to the external walls. The Gabion baskets were used as a decorative method of breaking up the plant beds whilst their external finish also added to the sensory aspect of the garden.
