THE FIRST EVER underwater garden to appear at Bloom Garden Festival contains a stark warning about plastics in our oceans.
Garden designer Oliver Shurman hopes the garden display shocks people and makes them wonder ‘what are we doing?’ in relation to plastics in Irish oceans. Bord Iascaigh Mhara , Ireland’s seafood development agency, unveiled the garden at a media preview, describing how it was created to resemble a giant rockpool that contains different Irish sea life.
