Thank you very much to Sharon O’Sullivan for our October Club demonstration. Sharon demonstrated beautiful Autumnal arrangements and vertical and centre piece arrangements. Our members had a wonderful time listening to wonderful tales of travel and floral art from Doneraile to Japan. The themes for the competition entries were triangular arrangements. 🌺

The National Flower Festival 2026 in Doneraile, Co. Cork, was held on October 3rd and 4th. This two-day event was hosted by the Association of Irish Floral Artists (AOIFA) to raise funds for Breast Cancer Ireland.

The festival transformed two local churches into vibrant floral galleries. This year's official theme was “Making Connections: A Celebration of Community, Heritage and Friendship,” featuring beautiful floral installations created by some of our very own members.

Thank you very much to Breda Crowley for our September Club Work Night. Breda demonstrated a vertical arrangement and parallel and horizontal styles. Our members had a wonderful time making their own arrangements and gaining some excellent floral tuition too. The themes for the competition entries were Autumnal Colours and Dancing leaves. Our talented members brought the vibrant essence of the season to life, turning leaves and flowers into works of art. 🍁

On Sunday, 28th June, garden lovers, nature enthusiasts and supporters of a wonderful cause are invited to enjoy the special Open Gardens event at two locations at The Rock, Carrigtwohill.

Hosted by Noel O Keeffe and Anthony Barry, these much-loved gardens will open their gates from 11am to 5pm in aid of Marymount University Hospital & Hospice, offering visitors the opportunity to experience a truly special outdoor space while helping to support the vital work of Marymount.

Two Gardens Full of Inspiration
Visitors can stroll through thoughtfully designed planting schemes, admire seasonal colour and enjoy the tranquillity that only a lovingly maintained garden can provide. Every corner offers something new to discover, making it the perfect destination for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

Supporting Marymount’s Vital Work
This Open Gardens event is about more than beautiful flowers and landscaped borders. It is an opportunity to support the extraordinary care provided by Marymount University Hospital & Hospice.

Donations on the day will help Marymount continue to provide specialist palliative care, hospice services and support to patients and families across Cork and beyond. The generosity shown at community fundraising events like this makes a real and lasting difference.

A Warm Welcome for Everyone
One of the great joys of Open Gardens is the sense of community they create. Visitors have the chance to meet fellow garden enthusiasts, share ideas, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and spend a few hours surrounded by natural beauty.
