Bloom 2008 show, Phoenix Park bloom 08 exhibition.

....
Just an early notice to let all you gardeners know that Bloom 2008 will be held in the Phoenix Park from Thursday 29th May until Monday June 2nd.
My sources tell me that preparations for an even bigger and more impressive Bloom 2008 are well under way but until then you can remind yourself of last year's event by clicking on the following link to our discussion on and pictures of Bloom 2007..... Previous Bloom discussion.

I will keep all members of Irishgardeners updated on the Bloom 2008 show as the weeks go by, and I hope to source a few free tickets for a few of you .........
