The An Taisce report for Buncrana stated:
A good showing from the Donegal town in high season. ‘Mini Bee Gardens’ were very much a feature at some of the survey sites within Buncrana e.g., Upper Main Street, Buncrana GAA and the Tourist Office – a lovely feature and some wonderful planting associated with them.
