Tulip festival to help raise funds for families

FAMILIES eager to enjoy the sunshine and raise funds for severely ill children at the same time are being encouraged to visit an unique event in Wicklow this weekend.

Up to 10,000 tulips have been planted on the grounds of the Powerscourt Hotel, in Enniskerry, while another 3,000 cut tulips will be sold to help fund resources for children with brain damage.

The tulip festival was launched yesterday with 10% of proceeds going to the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation.
