Bloom 2013

At the start of this month, I went to Bloom, a gardening and food festival taking place in Phoenix Park, Dublin. I was mostly interested in vegetables seeds, as I want to start growing my own stuff, but my search was fruitless.
In place, I admired a garden designing contest, sampled fancy jams, walked on the yellow brickroad in Oz, feasted on organic cherry tomatoes, aaawwed at the sight of fluffy lamb, walked in a huge kitchen garden and inhaled many a flower. Bloom is a lovely event to attend, especially if it's sunny and you're looking for a family-friendly activity.

To be honest, I wasn't going to post this video below as I messed up my camera settings (I thought the sky had a weird lighting that day, God forbid I actually check my ISO...) but I decided to give it a go at learning colour correction on my editing software, instead of throwing the footage in the bin. Please excuse the shoddy result.

You captured Bloom perfectly Moira, I was sad I didn't get to partake in any of the festivities this year, but this is a damn good advertisement for next year. You have such a wonderful eye for beauty!

What an adorable video! I especially love the flowers and the lovely closeups. I think it came out great (no shoddiness to my eyes)! Getting seeds for a new garden sounds ideal, but I have no backyard! One day perhaps... x

@emma: do you usually go every year? It was a first for me and i was pleasantly surprised! Your comment is way too flattering for my own good, merci merci xx

@valerie: you're far too clement, thank you! Don't you have a windowsill? I've no garden either but I read it's possible to use deep pots if you have a good sun exposure on your window xx
