April 2025 – Fergal Fitzpatrick
Posted by Jackie de Róiste in Demonstrations on June 6, 2025
We were entertained by horticulturalist Fergal Fitzpatrick from Ballybrophy, Laois. Fergal gave an inspiring demonstration on planting up window boxes and hanging baskets. He showed us how to take cuttings and we were amazed by the plants he brought in which were only two leaf cuttings a year ago. We got recipes for natural fertiliser and pest control. A terrific evening. Thank you very much Fergal.

Plant Sale & Coffee Morning – May 2025
Posted by Jackie de Róiste in Events on June 6, 2025
We are very happy to announce that Kilkenny Flower Club’s Plant Sale and Coffee Morning was a terrific success once again.
We were so lucky with the weather, no rain until it was finished.
A big thank you to the hard working committee and members who were busy potting up plants and baking many and varied delicious cakes. Thank you to everyone else who contributed plants.
A special thank you to Eddie who once again was on traffic control and indeed did many jobs behind the scene.
The chosen charities will be delighted with our contribution.
Thanks everyone.
