Dungarvan Flower & Garden Club

Discover the Joy of Growing Your Own Cut Flower Patch with Maria Ryan of Bell Meadow

The Park Hotel Holiday Homes & Leisure Centre

Are you dreaming of armfuls of vibrant, homegrown flowers this summer? The Flower Club is thrilled to present a special evening with expert grower Maria Ryan of Bell Meadow, who will be joining us on February 4th to share her passion and practical wisdom for creating your own cut flower patch.Maria’s journey to flower farming is as inspiring as her bouquets are beautiful. Based in the heart of County Carlow, Maria didn’t begin her career in the garden—she first made her mark in the world of finance before following her creative spirit into craft and children’s clothing design. But it was among the petals and leaves that Maria truly found her calling. Driven by curiosity and a love of nature, she gained a certificate in Organic Horticulture with The Organic College, and later honed her skills with the renowned Floret Farm’s flower farming programs.Today, Maria is the creative force behind Bell Meadow, a flourishing business offering everything from hand-tied bouquets and wedding floristry to wholesale cut flowers for local florists. She’s also a passionate educator, running popular workshops on cut flower growing, flower farming, and the art of dried flowers. Her website, <a href="https://www.bellmeadowireland.com" title="https://www.bellmeadowireland.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">bellmeadowireland.com</a>, is a treasure trove for gardening enthusiasts.At this exclusive Flower Club event, Maria will take us behind the scenes of her flower patch and teach us how to create one of our own—from the first seed to the final, glorious bloom. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned gardener looking for new inspiration, you’ll leave Maria’s talk armed with the know-how and motivation to transform a corner of your garden (or even a few pots on your patio) into a haven of homegrown beauty.Expect practical advice, plenty of encouragement, and a chance to ask all your burning questions about starting a cut flower patch. Maria’s approach is rooted in organic principles and sustainability, so you’ll learn how to grow flowers that are good for both your soul and the planet.So, why not join us to kick off your growing season with a burst of inspiration? Let’s come together, share a cup of tea, and get ready to fill our homes with flowers.
