Bloom 2016 to open its doors today

It’s the 10th year of the gardening festival – which features 23 show gardens, and hundreds of food stands, retailers and nurseries.

It’s taken 30 days to build Bloom, where 4000 people will work to ensure it runs smoothly.

Bord Bia’s Communications manager Roz O’Shaughnessy says the food village is a huge draw.
