BOG – 15 Years of the Garden

This October Dublin based floral design studio, flower and plant shop The Garden is marking 15 years in business with a new exhibition ‘BOG – 15 Years of the Garden’. Launching Thursday 9th October 2025, the exhibition features more than 20 Irish creatives whose work echoes the quiet power of the bog, rooted in time, place, and the enduring presence of craft. 

An image ‘Mary’s Hands’ by photographer Doreen Kilfeather features Grehan’s
mother’s hands holding the hardy but ethereal bog cotton that surrounds the family
home. Reproduced on a limited run of locally printed t-shirts, these are for are sale
throughout the month of October, with all profits going to Green Sod Ireland, a
non-profit land trust organisation that works to protect biodiversity, create safe
habitats for the free movement of wildlife, and restore Irish peatlands to ensure the
continued and enduring presence of the bog.

‘BOG – 15 Years of the Garden’ launches on Thursday 9th October, with artworks
displayed to the public and for sale in-store at The Garden’s Powerscourt
Townhouse location until 2 nd November. A special new tote bag has also been
designed for the 15 year anniversary, waterproof and hardwearing it is made using
sacking traditionally used to gather turf on the bog. The bespoke bag will launch
alongside the exhibition, and is complimentary with all sales from the shop.
