12th of December

Hyacinth for Bumbleance fundraiser

First Hyacinths delivered – how to get to Labane Hall Sunday 14th of December to pick up your Hyacinth

Hi all,

I started to take reservations of Hyacinths a few weeks ago, and most of them are local people, as it’s not really feasible to run around the country in my car , delivering Hyacinths 🙂

I am currently visiting some of my work colleagues in our Dublin office, and brought some of the hyacinths in my car ( they survived the trip) and delivered my first lot today!  This is Maeve, who bought 2 hyacinths, all proceeds to go to www.bumbleance.com

I have another +- 200 Hyacinths at home nurturing inside, and look forward to see you all on Sunday, at the Sale of Works of three local schools. This year the event is organized by Labane N.S. and is a major fundraiser for the school. I have included two maps, one if you are coming from Galway:

And the other one if you are coming from Ennis.

The event is not in Labane NS, but in the hall just beside it! I always refer to it as  Labane Hall, but it’s actually called Loughnane-Quinn Memorial Hall. Just in case you have never been there, below is an image of the hall, you can’t miss it!

Hyacinth for Bumbleance fundraiser

 

In case you are landing on this blog for the first time, I have planted 240 hyacinth bulbs that will be ready to bloom around Christmas. I’ll sell them for 10 Euros, and all proceeds to go to http://www.bumbleance.com. I was looking for a sponsor, and was delighted that Horkans Gardencentre has sponsored me for the 240 hyacinth bulbs, compost and pots.

So… how can you help me with my fundraiser for #Bumbleance? This depends a bit where you are:)

If you are in  East Galway, you can buy/reserve a hyacinth by calling/texting me on 087 686 0939. I’ll be taking a stall at my kids school sale of works on the 14th of December at Labane hall, so you can pick up your hyacinth(s) then.

If you are in Co. Wicklow, Co. Mayo, Co. Sligo, Co. Dublin and Co. Galway, Horkans has branches there , and I’ll be sending 20 hyacinths to each branch when they are about to bloom, so you can pick up your hyacinth there! Click here to find out where those Horkan stores are.

Oh yes, you can also  text buzz to 50300 to donate 4 Euros or donate directly here.

For those further afield, I am enclosing a link to my fundraising page where you can sponsor me, every penny counts, so thank you very much for your support. So far I raised a whopping 220 Euros- Thank you so much who have sponsored me so far!

Hope to see you all on Sunday:)

Cheers,

Katleen
