The return of Ireland’s premier floral festival celebrates our new-found appreciation for the outdoors.

On the opening morning of Bord Bia Bloom in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, five Cork exhibitors received medals. This included two show gardens, the National Dairy Council Sustainable Dairy Farm Garden – designed by Sean Russell, sponsored by National Dairy Council received a Gold medal; and Reflections (Super Garden winner  - 2020) – designed by Mark Hoey, sponsored by Super Garden which received Silver Gilt at the much-loved flower, family and food festival.

Mike Neary, Director of Horticulture, Bord Bia said:

As Bord Bia Bloom returns as an in-person event for the first time in three years, we are hugely encouraged by the calibre of new horticultural talent emerging alongside some of our incredibly creative and experienced show garden designers. The judges were hugely impressed by the attention to detail, quality of planting and sense of atmosphere created in this year’s displays."

"For many, more time spent at home over the last two years has resulted in a new-found appreciation for our outdoor spaces as we realised the benefits of gardening for our mental and physical wellbeing. This year’s gardens embrace this trend and celebrate the role of the garden as a place for relaxing and connecting with nature, while also providing an engaging outdoor room to entertain friends and connect with family.”
