Street collection for flowers next weekend

The street collection for the Kilcullen Tidy Towns Summer Flowers display will be held on Saturday next, 3 September, writes Brian Byrne.

With the flowers in full bloom now, everyone in town is very much appreciating the work that goes into the display, which adds substantially to the summer buzz on Main Street.

The flowers are paid for by donations from individuals and businesses, but there's still a shortfall which it is hoped will be helped by the street collection.

The costs, an estimated €5,300, include the provision of the flowers themselves, extra plants, and maintenance of the water systems.
