Arboretum, the independent family-owned garden and lifestyle centre located in Kilquade, has started work on the €4 million redevelopment of its 2,390 m² garden centre.
When work is complete in Spring 2024 the entire retail space – including the garden centre, health and wellness, fashion and gifting sections and food hall - will be roofed. The popular restaurant will overlook the 17 beautiful exhibition gardens and accommodate over 100 diners.
Arboretum Kilquade will remain open throughout the entire refurbishment period albeit with a pared back offering from a special temporary structure which will house a café, garden plants and gifting ranges.
The redevelopment will incorporate sustainable technologies.
Rainwater will be harvested and used to water plants in the garden centre while solar panels will generate renewable electricity.
When finished the floor area of the new development and the current 17 exhibition gardens will span an impressive six acres.
The number of Arboretum jobs at the new state-of-the-art facility will increase by 25 bringing the total national workforce to 195.
