More support for Summer Flowers

KCA has received another donation for the summer flowers from overseas, writes Noel Clare of KCA/Kilcullen Tidy Towns.  

John Collins and Anne Collins who live in London were the latest to send a donation from abroad in support of the project.  Harry Smith and his friend Doug had earlier pledged a donation and this has since been received by KCA.  

Last year a donation came from as far away as Hong Kong - Sylvia McDonnell and her husband Heinz sent money following a visit home during the summer. Within the last week the street collection and table quiz in aid of the project were very well supported.  

Window boxes are now being offered to property owners for the subsidised price of €20 each. This includes the box, the flowers, putting up and taking down and watering throughout the summer months.  Because of shortage of funds this year boxes can only be offered to those who are willing to donate towards the cost.
