Colourful bulbs being planted for everyone in our City
To celebrate the Launch of our 2013 New Year Tidy towns campaign the KKB are currently working with volunteers from many of our City’s over 70 resident associations to complete the planting of some 25,000 bulbs throughout our City. A bulb for each of our citizens. In the spring as the colorful flowers bloom we will be able to see the fruit of the extensive planting which has been undertaken over the the last few months. these include many Daffodils, Tulips, Iris, Anemone, Dahlias and Crocus.
There is still some late planting underway. If your Kilkenny City Residents association wants to help contact us at info@keepkilkennybeautiful.com

Butterflies in Kilkenny
The red admiral butterfly is very particular about the flower it visits! A sunny afternoon in early September on Circular road there are some very popular flowers that get more than their fair share of butterfly attention.
