Thanks to the generosity of all who attended, Éist will benefit by more than €1,500. The club would like to sincerely thank Margaret and Michael for hosted the visit, Nuala Quirke, Agnes Smithers and their family members, who ensured their mother’s memory was kept alive on what was the late Joan Smithers’s 90th birthday.
There were lots of delicious cakes and refreshments for everyone to enjoy after the garden tour.
The club would also like to thank Altamont Gardens and Tirlán, who donated raffle prizes, and to Margaret herself for the beautiful flower arrangements she made for the raffle.

Some people were unable to attend, but kindly sent donations, helping bringing the total raised to an impressive €1,500.
