SOLAS – Plant Sale, New Menu & Famous Chickens!
As we come into the Autumn season SOLAS has launched a sale offering 20% off all Greenhouse stock and also our amazing range of roses.
Though SOLAS is no stranger to publicity, this week we have a number of ladies feeling quite giddy about their new found fame as our resident flock of hens were covered in the September edition of ‘Irish Country Magazine’ under the headline ‘Hen Party’ which extolled the role the chickens play in turning food waste into fresh eggs for the kitchen. The fact the magazine had ‘Rosanna Davison’ on the cover didn’t seem to faze them in the least.
