May Day in Bloom at the Tunnel

Flavour First Farm, 224 Killaughey Road,, Donaghadee, County Down, BT21 0LJ
Ranuculus growing in the Polytunnel

About

This event is organised and was submitted by The School Garden 1895.
 

I'm throwing the doors of the polytunnel open for you this May Day, Monday 4 May 2026 to have a look at where the magic happens and the hard work too !!

What you can expect:

Starting at 10.30am

At Flavour First Farm you will enjoy some scones with jam and cream on arrival.

I'll then talk you through what I've planted this season and what I've learnt along the way too - it's been a steep learning curve.

You'll then have an opportunity to cut your own bouquet mix from what's in flower at the moment so think Tulips, Ranunculus, Snapdragons and more.

Under the tuition of Janice, you'll create a hand tied bouquet and learn how to wrap it, finishing off your look with some ribbon or twine.

You'll also take away a gifted plant plug for your greenhouse or windowsill and put into practice what you've learned.

I hope that you can join me for a relaxing morning together.

The event will close at 12.30 pm

(Please note that this event will take place at Flavour First Farm, Killaughey Rd, Donaghadee)
