Hanging Gardens of Dublin
Blooming Bunting launched The Hanging Gardens of Dublin, as an experimental vneture in May 2015. Inspired by a belief that everything we do has an impact on our environment, Blooming Bunting called for ‘nature inspired’ bunting to help enliven and transform a dreary lane beside Dublin Castle.
Presented as a creative, green, community inclusive project, The Hanging Gardens of Dublin set out believing in the kindness of people. With the help of community spirit, and an incredible positive response, we transformed this lane into a bunting filled, nature inspired, colourful hanging garden. With generous support and beautiful bunting this experimental venture has sewn a seed...
