Share your gardening efforts for digital showcase

Following cancellation of the Translink Ulster in Bloom Competition 2020, the NI Local Government Association (NILGA) and Translink have joined forces to launch ‘’Homegrown’ - a new digital Ulster in Bloom showcase to celebrate all things horticultural and help raise community spirits during the Covid-19 emergency.

Ulster in Bloom is about ‘growing communities’ as much as growing flowers and plants so ‘Homegrown’ is a showcase of what councils and community groups are doing to support people and get creative outdoors at this challenging time.

Translink and NILGA are now asking Ulster In Bloom participants and the public to share photos or short video clips of their gardening endeavours, whether it’s a large garden, a small window box or a ‘grow your own’ plot - all efforts are welcome. Share on social media @Translink_NI @NI_LGA #ulsterinbloom
