This year at Limerick Garden Festival on 15th June the organisers have planned an exciting programme of Expert talks, Masterclasses, Workshops, Demos, Music and Children’s Entertainment along-side its Garden, plant, craft and food stalls from all over Ireland. The festival features its most diverse and extensive series of talks and demonstrations since its inception in 2018 with high profiled Limerick, national and international experts.
International Garden Designer Peter Donegan returns to the festival this year after having designed and won twelve awards in UK, France and Australia since he last joined the festival in 2018.
Peter said: “I am thrilled to come back to Limerick and join the garden festival again this year. It is no easy task to bring a festival past its 5th year and Limerick Garden Festival is continuing to innovate with their new Cookery demo this year.” He continued by saying: “My own talk will focus on the important topic of Wellbeing, which our Gardens can so beautifully and calmly provide for us. Also, I will be ready to answer any design questions that visitors may have around their own gardens.”
The festival has this year three core themes: The first one as mentioned, is around Wellbeing in our Gardens for Mental and Physical Health.
Secondly, this year for the first time, a Cookery demonstration will take place upstairs with local legendary chef Tom Flavin using produce from the Garden and from local artisan producers.
The third theme centres around Biodiversity in the Garden with Munster-based wetlands expert Feidhlim Harty and RTE Homegrown’s Colm O’Driscoll. He will also host a Masterclass in organic gardening focussing on how to create feeds such as nettle and comfrey feeds and how to apply them. He will also discuss what other mulches, composts and plant bio stimulants people can use this time of year to keep their garden growing strong.
Festival manager Carmen Cronin said: “Our Masterclasses and Workshops are already booking now and anyone who would like to book can simply email us to info@limerickgardenfestival.com and we will send them the booking form.”
For smaller gardeners the festival is offering two workshops, here children (and adults) can sow their own seed in the festival demo area and craft diverse animals with Global action plan. There will be plenty of good food, a facepainter and music on the day.
Limerick Garden Festival will be held on Sunday, 15th June at the Milk Market, Limerick and is proudly supported by, D&M Garden Centre, Healthy Limerick, Limerick City and County Council, Limerick Food Group, Limerick Post, Paul Partnership, Room Outdoors, The Heritage Council and the festival supports Limerick Mental Health Association.
