Generous sponsorship of Bulbs by Woodies has facilitated the distribution by the KKB of a colorful range of flowering bulbs to primary and secondary Schools and other groups throughout our City and County.
These included St Patrick’s boys school, John of God, St Canice’s, St John’s senior, Kilkenny College, the Model school, the City Vocational School on New street and the SOS on the Callan Rd.
The KKB also cooperates with Tidy town’s committees through out County Kilkenny. Flowering bulbs were distributed by the KKB in January to Goresbridge, Thomastown, Coon, Urlingford and Inistoge Tidy Towns Committees to help give spring and summer colour.
The KKB congratulate Lidl for their major sponsorship of our current Kilkenny City Flower bulb planting project with some 25,000 flower bulbs being planted throughout our City. A bulb for each of our citizens. these include Daffodils, Tulips, Iris, Anemone, Dahlias and Crocus.
