ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Established in 2019 by Fionnuala Brabazon - Killruddery Cut Flowers has been on a continuous learning journey, guided by skilled gardeners and florists. Today, we create floral arrangements for over 30 weddings each year and for all the spaces in which we welcome guests across the estate. Around 80% of our blooms are grown here in our walled garden, chemical-free, under the direction of Head Gardener Daragh Farren.

One of the key gardeners on this project is Annette Daly. Originally from Dublin, Annette joined the Killruddery gardening team in 2022. She studied Garden Design, Parks and Supervision, and Horticulture, and brings a background in fine art education, which informs her sensitivity to colour, texture and form. She works with a deep respect for biodiversity and the habitats each plant supports.

Annette tends the cut-flower borders in our walled garden, overseeing the full annual cycle: from sowing seed on site, nurturing young plants in our tunnels and pitshouse, to planting out in late spring and harvesting through the season. Seed choices are informed by the Killruddery Cut Flowers florists’ colour palettes, alongside what thrives best in our soil and microclimate. We work with the plants’ natural rhythms to create abundance for weddings, banquets, table arrangements and workshops.

In this full-day workshop, Annette will guide participants through the year-round cycle of cut-flower growing, highlight reliable and rewarding varieties, and lead a tour of the cut-flower beds and nursery in their early spring state. You’ll be given a start in creating your own cut-flower bed plan, designed to provide flowers for your home throughout the year. There will be seeds to sow on the day and to take home.

Towards the end of the workshop, Lead Florist Hanka Miziova will demonstrate hedgerow and early-spring floral arranging, showing how to work creatively at a time when summer blooms are not yet available.

You will leave with practical knowledge, clear guidance, inspiration, and seeds to begin or deepen your own cut-flower practice.

This is a full-day workshop. We will welcome you with warming drinks and share a long-table lunch in the Grain Store, cooked by Head Chef Niall O’Sullivan and team. Please dress for gardening and for the weather.

GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES WORKSHOP

A Two Part, hands-on workshop with Killruddery vegetable grower Pat Keady.

In 2009 we began our contemporary food journey at Killruddery. We opened a charming Tea Room in our Victorian Ornamental Dairy and at the same time we began to awaken the sleeping walled garden which had lain largely dormant since the late seventies apart from its lovely Apple Orchard and a few hidden fruit vines. In 2022 Pat Keady joined our project and under his leadership, today we grow a large percentage of our Kitchens vegetables in the Walled Garden and on our vegetable field on the farm and we supply demand in our Farm Shop. We are prolific, we do this using organic principles, our Walled Garden has never known any other way.

Pat grew up surrounded and immersed in nature not knowing the meaning of the word biodiversity but piecing together the web of life bit by bit, this early involvement shaped him as a person who understands the need to protect and promote nature in everything we do. This is a major part of why Pat became a grower,a journey that brought him to Cork to study sustainable horticulture, then on to run his own market garden in Connemara and now here in Killruddery growing chemical free vegetables. He is constantly trying to improve and learn new methods to grow healthy nutritious veg on a large scale, while protecting and promoting nature. 

Pat will begin the day with some theory about garden design, discussing the range of vegetables that you can grow both inside and out at that time of year. Followed by an explanation of the processes of sowing and germination followed by a practical demonstration after lunch. Pat will discuss the different tools and equipment required for an efficient growing process, fertility, what and where to get it followed by a walk through the walled garden and demonstration. You will go home with a starter seed pack and plenty of tips and inspiration to get you growing food this year for your table.

 

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

• Those interested in starting their own kitchen garden but don't know where to start
• Those who wish to gain knowledge on sowing seeds, fertility and germination. 

FAQ:

• This workshop will take place from 10.00 - 16.00.
