About

Bord Bia Bloom is back for 2025!

Bord Bia Bloom will return to the beautiful Phoenix Park, Dublin this June Bank Holiday weekend (29 May to 2 June 2025), running from 9am to 6pm daily. Bloom, which celebrates its 19th birthday in 2025, has been deemed one of the nation's favourite summer events and takes place across 70 acres in the Phoenix Park. This spectacular gardening event is a great coming together for garden designers, flower growers, landscapers, plantaholics, garden-furniture makers, food fanatics and anyone who loves to garden.

Summer's in Bloom, you can be too! Building on the success of last year’s festival, which brought together Ireland’s top horticulturalists, garden designers, and food producers, Bord Bia Bloom 2025 promises an even more immersive experience. With 21 stunning show gardens, 18 of Ireland's top plant nurseries, five stages with over 200 live talks, demos, and acts, over 100 of Ireland's leading food producers, 70 outdoor food trucks and four indoor restaurants, as well as the Budding Bloomers children's area, this year's festival invites you to explore, learn, and be inspired.
