When walking along John street you will come upon the very attractive St Johns Church. The parishioners summer flowering baskets have just been erected on the railings. The grounds are a green oasis and the pollinator friendly border planting within the grounds is attractive and colorful.
Kilkenny Co Co and our City Business owners are working to attractively present their premises
Whether in the Castle park, along the river Nore meadows or waiting for a city bus, there is an opportunity to enjoy some pollinator friendly summer colour through out Kilkenny.
Congratulations to all our shop keepers and business premises owners who are keeping Kilkenny beautiful.
What a fantastic resource we have through our City with the River Nore and its wooded banks. The spread of invasive species including Himalayan balsam and giant hog weed within the river Nore corridor through Kilkenny city has been been halted and our ongoing inspections and management has see a major decline in their occurrence. This has allowed the strong re-establishment of native Irish riverside species of plants and shrubs which help to stablise the river banks.
Kilkenny county council have recently completed the conservation of the two tea houses located on the river Nore adjacent to the Riverside Park in the centre of Kilkenny.
The gothic style tea houses also known as “pleasure houses ” are of c 1800 construction making a picturesque impression due to their location overlooking the River Nore. The extensive works which have taken place in the former brewery lands has facilitated the opening up the area with a new riverside walk adjacent to the tea houses.
There is an open day to view the newly completed conservation work on Monday, 30 May 2022 between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM all are welcome.
The new river side park forms an attractive pedestrian link between Greens bridge and the Market yard.
The murals are located in the city centre including Parliament st., Kieran st and Mary’s Lane. Hope you enjoy seeing them
KKB welcomes Nationwide to our beautiful city to showcase some of our many environmental and biodiversity projects currently underway.
