Bloom Dream Gardens

Easy Steps to Dream Gardens is an initiative designed by Bord Bia to help you plant your own show garden at home. Bord Bia has worked with various Bloom award-winning show garden designers to create garden designs that are suited to a range of different locations - from coastal gardens to wildlife spaces and gardens that are family friendly to a tranquil woodland balcony.

Each design comes with easy to follow planting plans and plant lists that can help you recreate the entire design or use for inspiration to suite your outdoor space. We have reproduced these here with information about the gardens along with curated collections of products aligned to each design to help you along with your gardening journey.
