TIME – 10:00 – 16:00
PLACE – THE DAIRY YARD
Killruddery Cut Flowers invites you to join us to learn how to plan and propagate your own nature-friendly cut-flower patch with expert Fionnuala Fallon, Irish Times gardening columnist and National Botanic Gardens-trained horticulturist @theirishflowerfarmer. During this workshop, Fionnuala will take you on a guided walk of the cut-flower beds in Killruddery’s Walled Gardens, sharing her tips for those wishing to create a really productive cut-flower patch which will give lots of beautiful seasonal blooms to use in arrangements throughout the year.
With limited slots available to ensure the workshop remains intimate and each individual receives plenty of guidance throughout the day, all materials for this workshop will be provided and everyone will leave the workshop with a seed pack of several of Fionnuala’s choice varieties of blooms to start you off, along with an understanding of how to apply the knowledge gained during this workshop, in your own garden.
The workshop is Hosted by Fionnuala Brabazon and includes a welcome tea/coffee and treat, a mid-workshop beverage, and a two-course lunch in the Grain Store Restaurant.
