Bloom: A Bord Bia Photowalk
Fancy a truly unique opportunity to flex your photographic muscles? Bord Bia might just have what you’re looking for this coming June with an organized Photowalk in the Phoenix Park. The photowalk will take place on the press morning of Thursday 3rd June at 9am at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre. Participating Photobloggers will receive a media pass for Bloom’s five days. How cool is that? 5 days of media-level access to a wonderful event!! To support this, Bloom has also setup a group on Pixie where we’ll gather the photos, so please feel free to join the group whether your part of the Photowalking group, sharing your own shots, or if you’re just interested to see what’s happening! About Bloom “Bloom 2010, brought to you by Bord Bia,will take place in the Phoenix Park, Dublin from June 3rd to June 7th. Bloom 2010 will include 25 large, medium and small show gardens, which will be complemented by a spectacular floral pavilion featuring 50 displays and the best of Irish plants and flowers. Also new for 2010, is Bord Bia’s ‘Sustainable Garden’, which aims to highlight the positive impact consumers can have on the environment by thinking about their purchasing choices. Each day, Bord Bia will also host four live demonstrations on the Bloom cookery stage. Featured chefs will include award winning chef Neven Maguire; Darina Allen, Ballymaloe Cookery School; food blogger and author of “Good Mood Food” Donal Skehan and well known TV chef Jenny Bristow. The dishes prepared by the celebrity chefs will promote quality assured local produce and will be available to order each day in Bistro Bloom. Once again, children can enter Bloom free of charge and this year the event will incorporate many more family orientated attractions and activities. The Irish Preschool Play Association (IPPA) will be onsite with an imaginative and interactive garden, including hay castles and willow huts. The garden will be constructed on a minuscule budget using natural materials. The IPPA hope to encourage families, playgroups, county councils and crèches to replicate the simple play garden concept to provide young children nationwide with more play areas.” Sounds like a great day out for the family and, if your a photographer, sounds like it could be a terrific opportunity to get some cracking shots!

Have fun guys. Will be working on the day [groan], but will try to pop in with the family over the weekend.
Is it to late to register for this photwalk?
Not sure if I can make it now
Hospital appointment!!
Hope its not too late, would love to go along with the gang
Hopefully I have been added…looks like Yahoo.com doesn’t like receiving email/verification links from photowalk.ie
Apologies to those of you who have experienced registration difficulties. The email engine uses an aggressive blacklist and certain email addresses and treated as suspicious when they’re actually not. We’re working on this and hope to have it resolved soon. Thanks for your patience!
When I try to log in I’m told I’m not registered, when I try to register I’m told my email address is already registered and I should try a different email address. Looks like I’m on a blacklist but my email isn’t!!!
Hi guys,
Sorry for the short notice but I can’t make it tomorrow, took my name off the list so hopefully someone will take my place.
great day, well done to all involved, will be back with the family (and camera) over the weekend
