Grow your own to take centre stage at Bloom

“GROW Your Own” will be the central theme of Bloom ’09 which will be held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, over the June Bank Holiday weekend.

The Bord Bia showcase — the country’s largest and most successful gardening event — has attracted over 100,000 visitors since its inaugural staging in 2007.

This year it will include a replica of the kitchen garden being developed in the White House grounds by United States First Lady Michelle Obama.
