CITROËN AT BORD BIA BLOOM

Love Is In Bloom

Citroën return to Bord Bia Bloom Festival 2026 as the Official Motoring Partner alongside sponsoring a new show garden! 

 

The "Citroën Family Flexible'" showgarden is a dynamic, multifunctional garden that adapts seamlessly to the evolving rhythms of family life.

A Garden That Adapts

Like Citroën vehicles, this garden adapts seamlessly to evolving rhythms of family life. Designed around three core modes of living: 

 

CHILL

HOST

PLAY

 

This outdoor space transforms effortlessly to meet the needs of every family member, from toddlers to grandparents, and even visiting cousins and friends.

The garden’s true magic lies in its ability to shift modes quickly:

 

 

  • Innovative storage solutions
 
  • Smooth transitions
 
  • Beautiful planting providing a backdrop to each mode

 

 

This is a garden that works hard for the whole family — a living space that evolves with your day, your guests, and your imagination.

Air pollution
A biodiverse turf roof provides food and habitat for wildlife and positively contributes to air quality Water misters hidden within the pergola act as a ‘scrubber’ cleaning larger particles of diesel pollutants out of the air. Planting will be zoned by function; planting close to the 'street' chosen for its ability to absorb pollution and clean the air.
Noise pollution
Water features within the garden provide a relief from traffic noise. Waterspouts at differing heights create sound at varying frequencies helping to regularise noise from passing traffic. Plants within the garden are chosen for their sound absorbing qualities. 
Surface run-off
Capture and storage of rainfall means less run off into storm drains. As much of the garden as possible is planted, helping to slow the escape of run-off water whilst contributing to the oxygen in the atmosphere. Reclaimed materials are used within the ground surfaces, creating a hard-wearing surface, low in embodied carbon. A rain garden and pond at the lowest points store and clean excess water run-off and provide an attractive feature for people and wildlife.
Rainwater collection and storage
The garden demonstrates capture and storage of rainwater from typical downpipes and rain chains to 2 storage ponds. Water is transported to a rain garden along rills of differing heights.
Community spirit
Encouraging down time, neighbourly and community interaction, the garden includes seats from a 1950’s Citroën ‘2CV’ car which were designed to be light weight, removeable and usable for picnics.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
The Citroën Power of One Show Garden Designer, Nicola Haines

Nicola studied architecture at the Bartlett School in London before completing Horticultural training with the RHS. She is a full and enthusiastic member of the Garden Landscape Design Association (GLDA). 2-time gold medal winner Bloom 2016 & Bloom 2018 as well as Best in category Bloom 2016, Nicola is passionate about design as a way to connect people to nature.

 

Nicola has a long and happy connection to Citroën having grown up with a Citroën ‘2CV’. She has happy memories of being driven around London by her parents to see the Christmas lights standing on the back seat with her sister, heads through the roof (it was the 80's!)
