Your guide to Bloom in the Park

Horticulture remains at the heart of the Dublin festival for Peter Dowdall, particularly the show gardens

The gardening “season” comes and goes in a flash. For months we’re waiting for the temperatures to increase and the weather to calm down into what we can recognise as a summer. Then, when it comes, it seems to be gone before we get a chance to appreciate it. The gardening show season seems to pass by even more instantly, Chelsea and Mallow are already gone for 2019 and Bloom in the Phoenix Park is in full swing this weekend, running each day until Monday at 6pm.
