In 2013, Bord Bia will continue to promote the “It’s Garden Time” campaign to encourage the general public to make the most of their gardens throughout the year. The campaign directs consumers to the Bord Bia website, www.bordbia.ie/itsgardentime, where a range of tips and advice is available. The GLAS trade show, supported by Bord Bia, will also return this year to provide an environment geared for business and networking and is attended by key buyers and decision makers in the retail sector. Finally, Bord Bia’s annual gardening and lifestyle show Bloom will return to the Phoenix Park, Dublin for its seventh year from Thursday, 30th May until Monday, 3rd June 2013.
