Mayo will be well represented at Bord Bia Bloom
Ballina-based Sarah Cotterill is the winner of this year’s Cultivating Talent initiative
Today, Bord Bia Bloom has announced that two exhibitors from Mayo will be joining this year’s exciting event line-up.
They are Sarah Cotterill from Ballina and Velvet Cloud from Claremorris. With just three weeks to go until the festival of flowers, food and fun returns to its home in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, organisers are encouraging visitors to plan their visit and enjoy a great day out this summer.
2025 Show Gardens The festival expects to welcome over 100,000 visitors across its 70-acre site, which will play host to 21 spectacular new show gardens at the centre of the experience.
Ballina-based Sarah Cotterill is the winner of this year’s Cultivating Talent initiative, sponsored by Westland Horticulture. She will be designing a garden titled ‘Into The Forest’, which is inspired by the unique oceanic woodlands of the west of Ireland, evoking the beauty of these ancient forests. This garden celebrates tranquillity, offering the viewer a connection to the unique ecosystem.
The Best of Irish Food Visitors to Bloom can meet 100+ of Ireland’s top food and craft drink producers at the Food Village and Bloom Inn, including Claremorris-based Velvet Cloud, which produces sheep’s milk yoghurt and cheeses on the Flanagan family farm in Mayo.
Attendees can also enjoy delicious food from plenty of food trucks, the BBQ Bliss area or Bloom’s four on-site restaurants: The Garden View Restaurant, Bistro Bloom, Country Crest Restaurant and The Seafood Terrace. New for this year is ‘A Taste of Bloom, curated by Neven, a three-course dining experience celebrating quality Irish produce designed exclusively by chef Neven Maguire for Bloom.
