Bloom 2008 will be held in the Phoenix Park from Thrusday 29th until Monday June 2nd. Preparations for an even bigger and more impressive Bloom 2008 are well under way...

The Bloom Experience

Stunning Show Gardens, magnificent floral displays, interactive gardens, farmers market, indoor entertainment, fabulous food pavilion, family fun zone - the ultimate outdoor exravaganza - this is bloom.

Bloom 2007 was all set to become the national gardening and horticultural event of the year and judging by the vast amount of people that turned up in their droves, it did not disappoint.

Bloom 2007 attracted just over 50,000 visitors throughout the June Bank Holiday weekend and represented a wonderful dosplay of engaging features appealing to everyone. We intended to deliver an event which would capture the essence of garden life and encourage people to become interested in tehir natural surroundings. What Bloom achieved last June was just that and even more, providing visitors with an unforgettable day out.

Here's a taste of what you can look forward to for this year;
  • Stunning Show Gardens
  • Interactive & Engaging Gardens
  • Food Market
  • Indoor & Outdoor Entertainment
  • Family Fun Learning Zone
