BLOOm IN THE PARk 2015 Who can believe that it nine years since Ireland’s horticulture community got a show that many are still proud of. It may not appeal to the design purists, but it generates significant business and follow-on footfall for garden retailers across Ireland. Do you remember what we had before Bloom? Exactly. Always room to improve, but roll on Bloom’s decennial in 2016. ANDREW WILSON & PAUL MAHER (BLOOM SHOW GARDEN JUDGES)
