Dee Forbes, Director-General, RT said: "Bloom has become one of RT 's most important public events and gives us a valuable opportunity to meet our audience and showcase our services. Our partnership with Bord Bia and Bloom goes from strength to strength and we are delighted to play our part in such a successful event. We've worked hard to develop a diverse range of live programming across RT 's television, radio, online and mobile services over the five days and hope visitors to Bloom will visit our set to say hello and enjoy some great RT entertainment."

Live music will come from the RT lyric fm Quartet throughout the five days, starting with live performances at 12.15pm and 4.15pm on Thursday.

Aine Lawlor and Marty Morrissey return to present three live half-hour shows on RT One from the first day of Bloom (5.10pm, 7pm & 8.30pm), including the final of Super Garden 2017 at 7pm. Aine and Marty will meet with the designers responsible for creating this year's stunning show gardens and take an in-depth look into this year's biggest floral trends.
