'Golden' sunflowers in Tipperary to remember Harry

The beautiful West Tipperary parish of Golden/Kilfeacle will host a sunflower competition over the coming months in remembrance of Harry Magee. Harry’s love of sunflowers was legendary.

Potted sunflowers will be available to buy for a minimal cost of €3 on Saturday, June 20 at the church gate Golden from 11am to 2pm.

Those who purchase will be asked to take home their sunflower, look after it as Harry would, and bring it back at the end of August to be judged. Judge and jury on the day will be Fr Pat Coffey.

It is hoped that everyone in the parish will buy a potted sunflower with plenty of prizes to be won on judging day.

Well done to everyone involved in organizing this lovely event in Remembrance of Harry Magee.
