Morning all. Two big green events in Dublin this weekend.
The first is, of course, Ireland's answer to the Chelsea Flower show - Bloom in the Phoenix Park. This year at Bloom there will be a major emphasis on sustainability. Display gardens will demostrate how to conserve water by gathering rainwater, and the importance of Irish native species for food and to the economy.
The second is the European Biodiversity Summer School, organised by Coast Watch and The Irish Environmental Network, with lectures in Trinity College's Science Gallery, nature walks and, er, biodiversity-themed live music (not sure what that's about). Some of tomorrow's events are in Wexford, but there are "special mystery tasks on the train" from Pearse (not sure what that's about either). Here's the programme.
If you're away for the weekend, don't worry because we'll be reporting on the highlights of both events on next week's show.
