Former teacher helps prestigious World Flower Show to bloom

A retired teacher from West Cork is one of the architects of the prestigious 11th World Flower Show, expected to attract up to 30,000 visitors when it opens for the first time in Ireland later this month.

For the past three years, Una Fleming from Timoleague, president of the Association of Irish Floral Artists, has been one of a 10-member organising committee working assiduously on the logistics of the World Flower Show.

The event is expected to generate revenues of up to €10m for the economy during its run at the RDS.
