We are incredibly saddened to hear of Seamus O’Brien, Head Gardener /Manager at Kilmacurragh. Those of you who were with us at the extremely enjoyable and successful talk on Kilmacurragh House and Gardens in the springtime will no doubt remember him as one of our guest speakers that evening. A lovely, gentle and unassuming guy, nothing was too much trouble for him and whenever called upon for advice, help or to lend his name to a worthy cause, he never declined. In his early 50s, his was a rich life cut short but we are grateful he leaves an invaluable legacy to Kilmacurragh, Wicklow in general and the world of horticulture in general. His gift of friendship, leaves even greater treasures in its wake.
May his memory be a blessing to the world.
