Bloom in the Park

Bord Bia's Bloom Festival is back for again this year celebrating its 11th anniversary. The Dublin event, based in Phoenix Park, is the largest of its kind in Ireland promoting family, food and gardening. Kieran Rumley, Executive Director of Love Irish Food joined Conall in the studio to talk about the festival. Bloom is an amazing opportunity for Irish entrepreneurs and food businesses, with 27 featuring this year in the "Food Village". What does it take to bring a show garden to Bloom? It takes a year to plan, a month to build and a lot of persistence by our designers. Will they get them finished on time? Join us in the Phoenix Park to enjoy the fruits of their labour! https://t.co/Z4VrLAHKvw #Bloom2018 pic.twitter.com/jV2WM72u8O — Bloom (@bloominthepark) May 25, 2018 Conall was also joined on the show by Barry Broderick, Co Founder of Broderick's Brothers and Paul Walshe, Founder of Walshes Sunshine Juice both of who told listeners all about their delicious and home produces products.
