Congratulations:
Local man, Barry Kavanagh, came first in the landscape garden section at Bloom 2016 in the Phoenix Park last week with his garden entitled, ‘The Across Boundaries’ Social Farming garden and thus winning a coveted Gold Medal.
The garden had a completely rural theme. Many items in the garden were sourced locally. It consisted of a pool surrounded by rushes and pasture land with wild flowers. In the background he had the side of a shed with the wheel of a hay rake lying against it. A path ran through the garden with old style gates. It was surrounded by a dry stone wall dappled with moss. It was a well-deserved reward for all the work that went into it. After being displayed at Bloom, the garden will be integrated into an existing social farm.
On Sunday, the other garden designers voted for Barry as their favourite designer at Bloom this year and on Monday, Barry won the ‘People’s Choice’ award at Bloom 2016. Well done Barry on this marvellous achievement.
Barry would like to especially thank Eilish McGowan, Dessie Harrington and Bill West for their commitment to the project and to all the other volunteers who helped make it happen.
Another local exhibit, ‘Organic Chickens’, was from the farm of Kenneth and Shirley Hall, Drumeague. Shirley was dishing them out to customers at a fast rate!! With the now more health conscious public, they will be in great demand!!
Important Message from St. Anne’s National School:
St. Annes NS held its annual Silver Circle Draw before Easter this year. We have had several reports last week from local people who have been approached to support the school and buy lines on a Silver Circle card, despite the fact that the draws have already taken place in March 2016. This is not an authorised card and St. Annes NS is not involved in the selling of these lines. We would ask that you do not give any money to these people. This has been reported to the Gardai. Please be vigilant and notify the school or the Gardai if you are approached to buy a line on a card. Thank you.
