Thank you to everyone who attended our Sunflower Seeds morning held in Castlebridge Community Garden on Saturday, 28th May, 2022. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the Community Garden was looking its spectacular best and so it proved a lovely morning for all who attended. Everyone enjoyed the garden and the cup of
tea and brought home sunflower seeds to plant in solidarity with Ukraine and to mark Vyshvanka Day.
Many people are now hoping to have their sunflowers ready to exhibit at Castlebridge Show in August.

Remember our 2015 Show! We think it was one of our most successful yet - and because it was our 75th anniversary we went back in time and dressed in 1940s style clothes. The 1940s was our theme for 2015, Thank you to everyone who joined with us on the day - our judges, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and everyone who came along to our Show or who helped us in any way on the the day or in the lead up to it.
Here is a flavour of the day!
