I am involved with flower bed filling in Roundstone Co Galway. I want to plant native Irish plants, which provide lots of colour and are suitable for a coastal village in Connemara. Can you give some help? Shrubs and hedges could also be included.

Native Irish plants, such as red poppies, blue cornflower, yellow corn marigold, purple corncockle and white dog daisies will flower for a relatively short period, probably too early for the summer show. These are mainly plants of cornfields.
Native shrubs include guelder rose, blackthorn, wild rose, furze and broom … fine for hedgerows, but perhaps not what you have in mind for flower beds in a village.
