Karen Koster with Amy Dempsey aged 4  and Gianluca Bux aged 5 as they celebrated the arrival of spring and the launch of GroMór 2019 - encouraging everyone to visit their local garden centres and nurseries, buy Irish plants and get growing!

GroMór is an initiative by Bord Bia in association with Retail Excellence Ireland, promoting its 62 local garden centres and nurseries located across the country.

These centres have an extensive selection of plants along with qualified staff, who are available to offer free expert advice to people in all age groups from novices and new homeowners to experienced gardeners.

Discover your green fingers simply grab a trowel and uncover the beauty and mystery of the garden.

GroMór 2019 has two key themes that will focus on the seasonal plants with ‘Garden Colour’ across April and May and then ‘Container Garden’ from June onwards.

April is the month when spring really starts to arrive and with the advice of GroMór ambassador Gary Graham, comes the opportunity to create your own super garden this summer!
