Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go hálainn thar Ghairdíní Lus an Bhriotáin, agus bhí boladh úr an earraigh i ngach áit.

The sun was shining beautifully over the Gairdíní Lus an Bhriotáin (Botanical Gardens of Brittany), and the fresh smell of spring was everywhere.

Bhí na bláthanna áille ag oscailt agus na daoine ag bailiú go cócaireachta do Lá Fhéile Pádraig.

The beautiful flowers were opening, and people were gathering to cook for Lá Fhéile Pádraig (St. Patrick's Day).

I measc na slua, shiúil Aoife tríd na plandaí, a súile dírithe ar a sprioc: daoine a fháil chun cabhrú lena tionscadal gairdín uirbeach.

Among the crowd, Aoife walked through the plants, her eyes focused on her goal: to find people to help with her urban garden project.

Bhí croí mór ar Aoife don dúlra agus fadó bhí sí ag iarraidh daoine a athnascadh leis.

Aoife had a big heart for nature and had long been trying to reconnect people with it.

Ach fós, bhí sí ag streachailt le go leor stuif.

But still, she struggled with a lot of things.

Bhí deacracht aici go leor daoine a spreagadh chun gníomhú.

She had difficulty inspiring enough people to take action.

Dá bhrí sin, cheap sí gur deis iontach a bheadh sa lá mór seo chun bac a chur ar dhuine ar bith a bhí ag spaisteoireacht agus ag scíth a ligint.

Therefore, she thought this big day would be a great opportunity to approach anyone wandering and relaxing.

Beidh an radharc gairdín lán le daoine spraíúla.

The garden scene would be full of lively people.

Bhí Fionn, a thit isteach i nDúbh Linn go cúpla mí ó shin, ag déanamh a bhealach freisin.

Fionn, who had landed in Dúbh Linn (Dublin) a few months ago, was also making his way there.

Cé go raibh an chathair nua dó, bhí sé ag iarraidh í a thógáil, a chultúr a cheiliúradh.

Although the city was new to him, he wanted to embrace it, celebrate its culture.

Bhí a chamera mar a mhuintir leis, ag breacadh na mná agus na bhfear gléasta i glas, cosnochta ar an bhféar.

His camera was like family to him, capturing the men and women dressed in green, barefoot on the grass.

Bhí tuirse air as an easpa teagmhála dhaonna a bhí aige.

He was weary from the lack of human connection he had experienced.

Tháinig an gáite sin air chun duine a chomhrá leis.

That need arose in him to have a conversation with someone.

De thaisme, bhuail Aoife agus Fionn ag an áiteán céanna.

By chance, Aoife and Fionn met at the same spot.

Thuig Aoife go raibh sé ina áit chompordach tríd na ceisteanna a bhí aige faoi na plandaí.

Aoife realized he was in his comfort zone through the questions he was asking about the plants.

Bhí sí taitneamhach agus ciallmhar, ag freagairt go mealltach.

She was pleasant and wise, responding enticingly.

Thosaigh siad ag obair le chéile ar phlota beag a bhí fágtha sa gairdín.

They started working together on a little plot left in the garden.

Go luath, chonaic Fionn an bealach ina roedd Aoife ag cur an chroí isteach i ngach céim den obair gairdín.

Soon, Fionn noticed the way Aoife put her heart into every step of the gardening work.

An rud a bhí sé ag iarraidh, rud a sholáthar dó féin, roghnaigh sé faoi dheireadh a bheith ar an bhfoireann seo.

The thing he was seeking, something to provide for himself, he eventually chose to be part of this team.

D'fhan aoibh gháire Aoife ar a aghaidh, meas ar Fionn a thaispeáint suim.

A smile remained on Aoife's face, showing respect for Fionn's interest.

Diaidh ar ndiaidh, bhí an gairdín thart timpeall air lán le díograiseoirí agus maraíodh na suspicions deiridh a bhí ann.

Gradually, the garden around them was filled with enthusiasts, and any lingering suspicions were dispelled.

Tugadh rud éigin do gach duine a bheith i gceannas air.

Everyone was given something to take charge of.

Chabhraigh Fionn lá agus oíche, ag grá do na nóimhéadanna a bhí ceann ar cheann ag fás faoin áilleacht thraidisiúnta.

Fionn helped day and night, loving the moments that grew one by one under traditional beauty.

Le linn an ama seo, tháinig cairdeas ina dhúiseacht, faoi bhláth amhail bláthanna faoi ríomhaire na greine.

During this time, a friendship bloomed, like flowers under the computer of the sun.

Dtuig Aoife anois gur féidir le cinneadh amháin cabhrú le hathrú a dhéanamh, agus thuig Fionn gurb é an méid tacaíochta a chruthóidh an scoil diúltach ina iasachta.

Aoife now understood that one decision could help make a change, and Fionn realized that the amount of support could transform the negative school into a positive refuge.

Anois, bhí Aoife níos muiníní agus d'fhan sí lán le spreagadh.

Now, Aoife was more confident and remained full of inspiration.

Bhí Fionn cainteach agus sona, ag baint taitnimh as a ról nua sa phobal.

Fionn was talkative and happy, enjoying his new role in the community.

Bhí an saol níos gile agus níos sona dóibh beirt i measc Glas na gCrann.

Life was brighter and happier for both of them among Glas na gCrann (the Green of the Trees).

Ní raibh sé ina dhúiche níos mó, ach ina theach, ina áit ghaire, arna shlánú le comhluadar maith agus lán díograis.

It wasn't just a territory to them anymore but a home, a close place, blessed with good companionship and full of enthusiasm.

Le chéile, d'fhás bláthanna an chairdis agus an grá, clocháin lán le rath garbaí.

Together, the flowers of friendship and love grew, paving stones of abundant success.
