St Patrick’s Historic graveyard gets clean up
Thanks to all the volunteers who came out to clean up st Patrick’s historic graveyard. the works included trimming back bushes and weeding the gravel path that meanders through the graveyard. the NIAH notes “A picturesque graveyard containing a collection of markers of artistic design significance exhibiting high quality stone masonry. A number of markers dating to the late seventeenth century represent an important element of the archaeological heritage of Kilkenny while serving as a reminder of the mass house, later a Catholic chapel that existed on site until the late eighteenth century”

Slowly coming out of lockdown to a beautiful Kilkenny
Spring in the air
A lot can happen with social distancing restrictions and a 5km limit. In the last few days the grass has started to grow the tree and fruit buds are getting greener and the birds are getting more vocal. The last of the tree slips are getting planted and the community orchards and fruit planting is ongoing. The Acorn project is going ahead full steam with the Kilkenny Forrest School. Why not join in and help with Keep Kilkenny Beautiful.
