Kilkenny Flower Club spent a terrific night with Lamber de Bie who was the demonstrator for the club’s Gala this year.
Lamber is a Dutch Master Florist living in Kilkenny for many years. His arrangements were imaginative, contemporary and inspiring.
It will give us the courage to try something different for our Christmas arrangements.
Thank you Lamber.

Therese M. O’Reilly came from Naas Flower & Gardening Club to demonstrate at the May meeting.

As the title suggests the arrangements were indeed bright and beautiful.

Therese kept us entertained with stories from her native Glascow and how she ended up in Naas, Co. Kildare. Therese explained her parents sent her to elecution classes when she was a child so it was quite easy to understand her accent. Her arrangements were varied and colourful.

It was a lovely evening.
