Bord Bia Bloom – Postcard Garden Winners 2023

Our small but perfectly formed Postcard Gardens are one of the most popular visitor attractions at Bord Bia Bloom each year. Created by amateur gardeners from community groups, schools, and training groups from across Ireland, they showcase their locality or highlight the issues that matter to them. They are proof that size doesn’t matter when it comes to creating wonderful outdoor spaces! This year we are excited to host nine Postcard Gardens at Bloom.
