A 3D image of Paul’s garden
Bloom 2013 got underway today in the Phoenix Park and local gardener Paul Martin has already picked up a gold medal for his large concept garden ‘The Kerry Group/Concern 1,000 Days Garden’ in association with Concern.
Paul has delivered a dramatic Zambian landscape, growing Irish and African foods, which tells the engaging story of 1,000 Days and underpins the importance of kitchen gardens in feeding women – the world’s frontline hunger champions – and children.
Local rugby star Rob Kearney was amongst a number of people who helped Paul prepare the garden for the opening event, which took place earlier today.
The Bloom 2013 event runs until Monday June 3rd and will also feature Danucci-Ferdia Chocolates from Ardee, who will be displaying their products at the Love Irish Food marquee.
