Festivities will kick off bright and early at 10:00 AM with a range of activities designed especially for younger visitors.

Throughout the day, there will be competitions with fantastic prizes up for grabs, along with giveaways that are sure to delight visitors of all ages.
The official opening ceremony will take place at midday, welcoming customers to the brand-new garden centre with a ribbon-cutting and a few words from Elmgrove’s founders. To mark the occasion, rising star Saibh Kelly, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter known for her heartfelt lyrics and soulful performances, will be taking to the stage for a live set that is not to be missed.
For the green-fingered guests, Elmgrove Garden Centre will host a series of informative talks by leading gardening experts. Topics will include how to promote biodiversity in your garden and top tips for getting the most out of your outdoor spaces. Whether you want to create a pollinator paradise or maximise a small patio garden, there will be plenty of inspiration and advice to take home.
“We wanted the Grand Opening to be a true community celebration,” said Tom McGilloway, Manager at Elmgrove Garden Centre. “Gardening is all about growth, connection, and nurturing – and that’s exactly the spirit we’re bringing to this special day. There’ll be something for everyone, from hands-on fun for the kids to expert talks and, of course, a bit of craic for the adults too!”
“We have come a long way over the last few years,” said Darragh McCullough, owner of Elmgrove. “This Grand Opening is more than just a ribbon-cutting; it’s a culmination of years of planning, hard graft and a great team effort. I’m really looking forward to meeting so many friends and locals, and acknowledging the brilliant team here that has made our journey from selling our farm flowers on the side of the road to a multi-faceted on-farm offering of retail, food, indoor play areas and much more.”
Visitors can also look forward to exclusive Grand Opening offers throughout the store, with discounts on a wide range of plants, garden furniture, and seasonal essentials. The centre’s friendly team will be on hand all day to offer advice, share gardening tips, and help visitors pick out the perfect additions to their gardens.
