The Plant Emporium, in association with Arboretum Garden Centres, Kildare Growers Association and Bord Bia
The Plant Emporium is set among the popular outdoor retail stands near to the Show Gardens area. This feature is organised in conjunction with Arboretum, Bord Bia and the Kildare Growers Association and offers a wide selection of plants from Irish nurseries, including many featured in the Show Gardens. These plants are grown to the highest quality standards in the Irish climate, making them ideal to grow and thrive in your garden.
The Plant Créche, Sponsored by Certa Renewables
If you buy more plants than you can carry at Bord Bia Bloom this year, fear not. You can store them safely in our Plant Crèche, next to the Organiser’s Office, while you explore the festival. When you are ready to leave one of our helpful team of volunteers from the Castleknock/Clonsilla No Name Youth Club can transport your plants to the car park via one of our ‘wheelbarrow taxis’. This is a free service; however, the volunteers are raising money for the Castleknock/Clonsilla No Name Youth Club should you wish to make a charitable donation.
Food Village
This bustling village includes the popular Food Hall, sponsored by Love Irish Food, where more than 80 of Ireland’s finest food companies gather to showcase their produce. Here you can meet the producers, sample their produce, and purchase food to bring home.
Across from the Food Hall, you will find , where you can relax, catch the chefs’ demonstrations on Dunnes Stores Quality Kitchen Stage, and sip something special from Ireland’s best brewers and distillers. You can also purchase some of their products to enjoy at home.
Can you purchase alcohol to bring home? If not, should we remove this from the retail section?
The Indoor Shopping Pavillion
For a spot of retail therapy, head to the Indoor Shopping Pavilion where you’ll find over 100 exhibitors offering a wide selection of products and services, from home furnishings to holiday getaways, and much more.
