Carlow Mental Health Association in association with Duckett's Grove and Tullow Men’s Shed were delighted to sponsor this structure in memory of those who have lost their lives to suicide in Carlow in 2025. We are hoping to keep this memorial space alive and meaningful for all and are asking the community to get involved with us in doing so.

We are inviting members of the public, family groups or organisations to plant sunflower seeds – need to get them is soon… and as they mature and bloom to bring them to Ducketts Grove where
Eamonn who looks after the garden there is happy to plant them out around our permanent structure so your personal sunflower can be a part of this year’s memorial on Sept 10th . Eamonn has assured us that if you sow the seeds now they will have matured sufficiently to plant out on the site
in the days running up to Sept 10th .
You can get the seeds in most hardware shops or garden centres and with a little bit of compost they
will grow happily away in your own pot until it’s time to plant out in Ducketts grove.
We would love if you were to get involved and please send us photos of your progress – carlowmenatlhealth@hotmail.com or our facebook page. We will be organising an event to mark Sept 10th in Duckett's Grove and wouldn't it be lovely to come along and see your own sunflower in place in memory of someone special in your life, or as a support to someone whose life has been touched by suicide.
