Full bloom: garden exhibition awakens the senses

THOUSANDS of people visiting Bloom ‘07, the gardening extravaganza officially opened by President Mary McAleese yesterday, won’t get to see one particular garden.

Visitors are blindfolded and guided through the garden, with shoes optional.

Sean Prior, and a group of new designers from Senior College Dun Laoghaire, said a garden of this type has never before been attempted at a garden exhibition.
