Around Christmas everyone says to keep it local and to buy local. Well in CountryLife we do just that with our Christmas plants. In terms of our poinsettias they are as fresh and local as we could get. We get our poinsettias from two different nurseries, Littlebridge nurseries in Cork and O’Connor nurseries in Wexford. O’Connor’s nurseries grow their poinsettias without the use of chemical spray and they use biological pest control.
