Debra Ireland
Opened in 2012, Emma’s Butterfly Garden was the brainchild of Emma Fogarty, Patient Ambassador with Debra Ireland. It was her dream to have a beautiful butterfly garden in a location where those affected by EB could go to enjoy peace & tranquillity. The magnificent fountain draws people to it, and every coin thrown in goes to Debra Ireland.

Jack & Jill Children's Foundation
In 2013, Killashee Hotel partnered with the Jack & Jill Children's Foundation, the Kildare Growers Association, Peter O’Brien Landscapes & Bord na Mona to create a very special garden. The garden was represented at ‘Bloom in the Park’ in Phoenix Park and won a much-coveted silver medal in the ‘large garden’ category. After the event, the perfect home for this garden was found back at Killashee. Killashee would love you to take some time out and enjoy it while you’re here. For more info click here
