KILKENNY FLOWER & BULB

ABOUT

Based in the south east of Ireland, Kilkenny Flower and Bulb is a family owned daffodil producing business. Established in the early 90's, the organisation has gone from strength to strength with an approximate flower production output of 2 million bunches per annum at present focusing mainly on large trumpet yellows while also producing a selection of whites and coloured varieties.

Situated in the fertile lands of Kilkenny, Kilkenny Flower and Bulb produces on approximately 500 acres of land and enjoys the benefit of easy access to Dublin airport and the main shipping ports of Dublin and Rosslare allowing for further access to Heathrow airport in the UK. To date we have exported flowers into Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago, New York, London, Warsaw, Paris and Berlin.

Kilkenny flower and bulb places great emphasis on the quality of its produce. Key factors in maintaining a high standard of produce quality are ensuring that only the best quality flowers are removed from the fields, cold storing flowers immediately after picking, during transport from the field to the pack house, standardising flower stem lengths, washing flowers and also ensuring a high stock turnover in the cold rooms to guarantee the freshness of the produce.
