Burren blooms at CWA’s fabulous flower show

Burren blooms at CWA’s fabulous flower show

On Sunday, September 21 the Burren Junction School of Arts Hall was brimming with goodness from local gardens for the popular Country Women’s Association’s annual Flower Show and Market Day.

From native blooms to delicate ranunculus, glorious roses and colourful geraniums – the hall looked absolutely fabulous, and its floral fragrance was just as good.

There were also some eye-catching and clever creations in the recycled section as well as stunning photo competition displays. The talented photography entrants not only captured the beauty of classic Burren scenes, such as harvest time, but also some sensational shots from trips away and fantastic profile photos of local characters, adorable children and much-loved pets.
