Martina Featherfriend Heads to Garden Show Ireland
Today, we waved goodbye to our scarecrow Martina Featherfriend as she set off to represent St. Joseph’s at the Antrim and Newtownabbey Garden Show Ireland, held at the beautiful Antrim Castle Gardens. She will proudly take her place on Really Rubbish Scarecrow Land from 15th–17th June, showcasing the creativity and teamwork of our Year 7 pupils and staff.
We are incredibly proud of everyone involved in bringing Martina Featherfriend to life and wish them the very best of luck in the judging!
MARTINA FEATHERFRIEND
In a field where flowers sway,
Martina Featherfriend stands both night and day.
With a hat of straw and a smile so wide,
She welcomes birds from far and wide.
No scary face or flapping sleeves,
Just gentle songs on rustling leaves.
She hums a tune the robins know,
And waves hello when breezes blow.
Her pockets hold some seeds to share,
For finches, wrens, and doves with care.
She’s not a scarecrow — oh no, not she!
She’s a bird friend, wild and free.
So if you see her standing there,
With feathers dancing in her hair,
Say “Hello, Martina!” loud and clear,
She loves it when the birds draw near!
