⚠️ Important announcement from Déirdre⚠️

Sorry folks I have to inform you that I can no longer take anymore Christmas orders for this year please . I really can’t . I am absolutely maxed to capacity and will be going non stop every single day from now till v.late on Christmas Eve as things stand this morning . Apologies if I’m upsetting anyone but there is only so much I can physically do and do well . I am so thankful to my very loyal customers , some of whom have been coming to me for over 20 years at this stage , and I really appreciate your undying support , it really makes me feel very fortunate and makes me want to give you lovely humans ( some of whom have also become my friends) special time and effort to creating your unique designs & floral orders for you every year. However there will always be a selection of my faux floral designs on display Horkans Garden Centre should you like one . Chat soon from Déirdre xX 🥰🌲🎅

Thankfully iv a late official ! start on Sundays And can have a little whileen with the lovely Tom ! ❤️
I just love when it’s bright outside and I’m at home as it only happens on a Sunday during these months ,
I appreciate all of your patience and kindness this weather as it’s a bit krazy with Christmas deliveries arriving daily and no time to check them off and sort and organise the stock but I’ll get to it over the coming 2 weeks 🙏. I mean it’s mental with the usual minimal space to work in so I just have to try to keep on top of it .
It’s packing away the Halloween stuff today and tomoro and then starting on my new selection asap !
And for these next few
Minutes is for Me and Tom ! Xx 🥰 It’s too wet outside to start on making my concrete for the next batch of weighted grave pots 😢. Have a lovely Sunday folks xx 🥰

Here’s one of my weighted grave designs from today. Each piece is created with care and patience ! ~ beginning with the making of the concrete base and continuing through to the precise securing of the oasis with Tec7 and taped wires. Each floral design contains approximately fifty stems of premium flowers and foliage, arranged to create a lasting and respectful tribute. Designed to withstand the Irish weather, and made with a whole lot of love by Déirdre 🥰.
