Kilmuckridge, Ireland – 25th July 2024 – The Kilmuckridge Sunflower Field, a heartwarming community project aimed at raising funds for the Daffodil Nurses of Ireland through the Irish Cancer Society and other local community groups, is preparing for its much-anticipated launch at the start of August. This initiative holds deep significance for many in the village who have been affected by cancer.
Over the past few months, members of various local community groups have come together to plant and nurture the sunflower crop, transforming a shared vision into a radiant field of hope. The dedication and collective effort of the community have been instrumental in bringing this project to life, demonstrating the village's solidarity and support for those impacted by cancer.
Once the sunflowers are in full bloom, the field will open to the public, inviting visitors to pick their own sunflowers. In exchange, visitors are encouraged to make a donation to support this worthy cause. To facilitate contributions, honesty boxes and donation buckets will be placed throughout the field, and there will also be an online option for those who prefer to donate digitally.
"The Kilmuckridge Sunflower Field is more than just a beautiful display of nature," said Mary Farrell, Project Co-ordinator of the Kilmuckridge Sunflower Field project. "It symbolizes the strength and resilience of our community, and it's a beacon of light and hope for those who have been affected by cancer. We invite everyone to visit, enjoy the beauty of the sunflowers, and support the vital work of the Daffodil Nurses and the Irish Cancer Society."
The community-driven project is expected to attract numerous visitors, each contributing to the cause and helping to make a difference in the lives of those battling cancer. The official launch date will be announced soon, contingent on the blooming of the sunflowers, which are already showing promising signs of becoming a stunning display.
The field is located at the back of The Crosses Pub in the village of Kilmuckridge, or use Eircode Y25 V0Y1
