Bloom Show Gardens, Telly Preparations, and Unexpected Mishaps 😢
Вставка

- In this week's video, I took a trip to the 2023 Bloom Flower and food festival in Ireland. It was quite an adventure! I strolled through the show gardens, hoping to inspire you with some awesome planting ideas. Afterwards, I made my way to Ikea and the Orchard garden centre to gather some props and get ready for my telly slot.
Oh, by the way, there was a little mishap in my own garden this week, and unfortunately, two items ended up breaking. If you're curious about all the details, make sure to watch the full video, and don't forget to subscribe!

I couldn’t see it I’ll get one of my grandsons to tell what I’ve been doing wrong 😀 was it as scary as you thought it was going to be?? Maybe you and Mr Carrington can start a bvog together that would be fun
Can’t watch from the states I guess. I’m sure you were great!!!
So sad, not available in Australia. 😢
Hey everyone, you can use a VPN to change your location to Ireland to view x
I can't seem to find the June 7th episode on their UA-cam channel, only the 6th and 8th
Remember to smile.. your smile will take their breath away and any little hiccups won’t even be noticed, with that smile blinding them..
Beautifully said!
You did a wonderful job on Morning AM Ireland, Catherine! The full episode is on UA-cam, so all of us can see it! Look for the show from 7 June. Love from New Jersey!
Aw thanks for letting me know!
Which one is it. Not that I mind watching them till I do find it lol :)
So impressed with your bravery and tackling your fear of speaking head on. You are my hero!
Awwww, thank you x
Good luck Catherine, you got this !! I will be sending positive thoughts and prayers to you!
Thank you Elizabeth x ❤️
I hope everything went well with the TV spot!! I'm sure it was great! Wish we could watch it here in the US 😄 Your garden is beautiful as always. Can't wait to see how the peel and stick mirror looks. ♥️ Thanks for sharing 💐
You will do beautifully.. everyone will be as charmed by you as we are .. so excited for you..
Thank you Connie! X
Hi Catherine, I bet you were great on the t.v programme. I totally understand how nervous you must have felt. You were prepared, love plant’s and are so friendly. I imagine it went really well.
So sorry about your mirrors, glad nobody was hurt. Have a lovely week 😊💖
☺️ thanks Jo! Yea I’m so lucky nobody was hurt, or even any of the furry friends who visit were hurt. Thanks for watching this week, hope you have a great week ahead ❤️
Absolutely bizzare how the wind actually blew. It was like it ran along the wall and then said " right let's get rid of these " and pushed them out in a totally different direction. No you won't be getting 7 years of bad luck.
The TV stations already know how good you are, your lovely comforting voice and lovely smile. They'll be rubbing their hands together when they show case you and the plants. ♥♥♥
Congratulations ! From the comments I see that you did very well. You were great to show us your lovely plant display and your anxiety. I hope you know how inspirational you are. Enjoyed the bloom filming. Lovely to see the lovely tranquil naturalistic gardens. Hope you gets lots of time to relax away from UA-cam over the Summer!
Thanks Margaret! Thanks for the lovely comment and support x
Good for you…pushing yourself out of your comfort zone! You will be great!
you are so personable and relatable that’s why they chose you, just be you!❤
I’m so proud of you! You deserve to be in the spotlight! I’m sure you did great! Sorry to here about the mirrors. Love every video you do.
Hi Cathrine, just relax and be as natural as you are in your UA-cam videos. Probably they want you exactly for who you are. Thank you so much for your uplifting and inspiring and down to earth videos. You are a blessing! Greetings from Germany
Your garden shows the love and care that you provide ❤️
☺️❤️
You keep stretching and stretching. That is personal growth. Be proud of it and know how you help other through doing x
Beautiful Irish gardens ❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I'm sure you did just fine! Preparing is the way to get there. Wish i could see it!
Cattherine didn't get to see you live on Ireland AM but just watched it now - you were brilliant! Bet you'll get lots of call backs following that episode - loved it!
Aw thanks for the feedback Mary! I really appreciate it ❤️
Catherine you are hilarious!!! Trying to get out of 14 years bad luck for your mirrors breaking. 😅😅😅😅 Thanks for making me laugh.
You are going to be just fine. Talking to a camera can't be that easy either. There's no feedback. At least you'll be talking to someone. Sorry to see what happened to your mirrors. Yes, that was a good gust of wind. The trees and plants were blowing around, too. As fast as it happened, you had another idea. You are very creative! So, breathe and enjoy the process.
Oh man I empathise with imposter syndrome. My job involves teaching teachers every now and then and even though I’ve never had any bad feedback I always think “what have I got to teach these smart people” 😂. I try to remind myself that people wouldn’t come if they weren’t interested so I say the same to you. They wouldn’t have asked you if they didn’t think you had something of value to share. You teach me new things every week ❤
I love this, I think as women especially, we suffer more with the imposter syndrome, so many of my friends get it too x
You are going to be great 👍, I have no doubt. I hope we (your followers) in other countries will be able to watch. Good luck ❤
Aww Catherine who would not like to see and listen to you, you are wonderful no matter what you do I hope it went well for you I'm off now to see can I find it 🎉😂❤
I admire you for just doing things, you are amazing. You go girl! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Just keep in mind that you know we love you and you'll be just as great at this as you are on u tube ❤💖💓💃
Awwww thank you x
Plant display is beautiful. I’m sure you tv spot went really well. I’ve always thought you’d be a natural as a tv presenter because you come across so very well on UA-cam. You’re natural, friendly and endearing. Good luck with all future ventures. You are a very talented young lady ❤️❤️❤️😊
You are so kind x
So by now you have done it! I have EVERY CONFIDENCE in you!
You do it on UA-cam and are warm, open and entertaining…you will ace TV Am. Congratulations 👏
Love this "episode."💕💕💕you're going to be great on live!
Good luck Catherine you are great at everything you do you will be wonderful
Oh, Catherine, you’ll do just fine. Your smile brightens the world around you, and your audience will be captivated. Those Irish fairies tickling your tummy when you’re nervous are just reminding you that you can do anything you set your mind to do. I’m cheering you on from Seattle, Washington state, USA! You go girl!
Aw, love the idea of the fairies x
W0W!!!🤗 How exciting and nerve-racking, but I am sooo sure that You did wonderful, this is your cup of tea...even mother nature is watching over You, those mirrors needed some dainty touch...L0L!! Sending lots of 🫶 n Blessings!!!💗
I know it's easy to say relax,but take a deep breath and be your sweet and lovely self. You are do personable and cheerful. Keep smiling. Blessings!😊
Such a pretty display - I bet everyone watching was charmed by you and your love for plants! 🌷
I’m sure you were brilliant as always. You have a naturally infectious passion for everything you do. Big hugs from up north x
🤗
Bloom was amazing. The displays/complete gardens were stunning. I didn't see one show garden that wasn't a work of art. Water fountains and ponds unbelievable. So very sorry about your broken mirrors. Be very careful mowing and working in the flower bed. So glad for your opportunity to appear on television. You will be great. Just pretend you are talking to all your You tube followers. Knock em dead.
Bummer, I know the mirrors were heavy but I can feel your pain. I know sticky panel will look great.
Telly is going to go flawlessly. No problem🥰
It looks like you overbought. Haha But, what gardener doesn't? Your choices are lovely. Good luck.
I never saw Bloom Flower Show before. This was pretty spectacular! I love the day trips you share with us. When would I ever be able to go; unlikely from Leawood, KS. So gorgeous,❤️🌸🌷❤️🌸🌷
Oh how fun for you 💕
I was better homes and gardens magazine national garden presenter on tour ... It was a blast..
Know your stuff , prepare and be yourself Cathrine 💕🤠
😂On live TV I tipped a shallow floral arrangement towards the camera and the whole thing fell out🤣 another time the interviewer kept calling me someone else ... So that's a great way to start a live segment 😂. Just have fun 🍀💕🤠
Oh wow! What a fun job, also, love when mishaps happen because it makes things more real x
😂😂 I was thinking about the 7 Years bad luck seconds before you mentioned it😂. You didn’t break them your good… still waiting on a tea set design. Someone needs to do a calibration with you. Also I can not drink hot 😅coffee or tea from a cup without having such anxiety about you spilling it. Lol 😂
hahah, the tea spill anxiety is real! X
Well done girlie 💋
You’ll do great!!! We’ll be cheering you on!!!
Catherine you will do great. You have wonderful presents, a beautiful smile, and an infectious personality. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
I'm sure your were wonderful on the TV. Just think you are talking to us your friends. The flowers you chose are so beautiful! 🌸💖🌺🐝🌼
Great choice of plants! You’ll be fantastic! Always bring more than you need-that’s my motto.😆 How exciting for you, Catherine! Have fun and enjoy every minute! 💖 I’m sorry your pretty mirrors smashed! I hope you can share your segment with us in the states. What’s next? A spot on Gardener’s World?😃
A girl can dream 😂😍
Hi I just watched your segment on Ireland AM (on the app) and thought you were very good. Informative, funny and relaxed. Well done.
Oh thank you!

OMG!! Catherine, how exciting to have this amazing opportunity to be on television!! Deep breaths girl, all firsts are scary but here I am wishing you all the best of luck and can’t wait to here all about how it went. Bloom Garden looks so fun. And wow 😯 how the mirrors just tumbled over just like that. Lots of love and positive vibes going your way 😊❤.
You are so cute! I love that you are keeping it real and share your thoughts🤯 and preparations. I hope you got all the plants and things safely to the tv station. How terrifying if something fell down 😲 I am sure though that you charmed your way through the show part!🥰
Not surprisingly they picked you ..what a breath of fresh air .😊 you’ll nail it
You are so kind x
Congratulations on thecTV show! I say take your wheelbarrow. IT is part of who you are as a Gardner. And its our friend that we love seeing with you on your show. Just my 2 cents worth... ;)
I hope you can share your TV appearance.. you have so many, wishing you well.. you are very loved and admired by your many supporters, Worldwide..
That is so exciting! The plants are absolutely gorgeous. Do you get to keep them? 🌺🌱
I get being nervous but you are such a genuine and wonderful person. They will love you and it will have gone great!
Hope the filming goes well..lots of luck..❤❤
Oh I hope they will let you show your TV spot on your youtube channel, we here in the States would love to see it
Hey unfortunately I cannot but you can head to the virgin media Ireland player to catch up, you’ll need to us a VPN to change your location to Ireland
Well done 👏 for getting the T V job, you will be great. The planters you done look good 👍 ❤
Great video, keep calm and it’s just like these videos! You are amazing here, you’ll be amazing there! I have faith in ya girl! 😊
Thanks for sharing I get nervous about public speaking too. Hugs and have a wonderful weekend
No! You did not break those mirrors. So no worries! Also wouldn't they be pretty as a gate... or trellis. So pretty seeing the plants thru the empty frame. You are much stronger than you know. So are we all. Also did you know? In acting, they say, that if you do not get flutters, or scared, or sick before a performance, then your performance will not be as good. It is a body chemical, passion, kind of thing, where then the process of acting becomes the huge release, relief! So honey, "Break A Leg!" Now that's to bring you good luck!
Good Luck with the Telly show!!! Love the display of flowers beautiful colors! Not an easy task!
I know you'll do great. You picked lovely plants, prepped for it, and picked things you enjoy. I'm proud of you girl! I love this video. Sometimes (most of the time) life is a hodgepodge of things. It makes it more exciting lol. Thank you for sharing.
You’ll be fantastic at the garden show!!!! Hopefully you can put it on your youtube so we can watch!!!! Good luck!!💖
Congratulations on your telly spot. Was it on RTE and which programme?
I have learned so much about gardening from you, I appreciate they way you present. You make me feel like I can do this and I just know that’s what you did for the folks watching you on television. ❤
You will be amazing… just be yourself. You got this!!! ❤
I have no doubt you will do it very well... All good luck Ms. Catherine... Nice choice all those flowers are beautiful.
The wee plant you couldn't pronounce ,,, might it be a wall flower ? , might make it easier for you x
I’m glad the glass broke while you were not in the garden it could have been really bad !!!!! You’ll make them look great again !!!!! Hope that the TV presenting went well
It's true. Anxiety flies away the moment you start speaking , Catherine , as it's really about a topic you are fit at...you can be sure .👍🙋♀️
Great video. You will be fantastic darling. Great prep work. Love the plants. Good luck. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. 💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Congratulations on getting picked from screentest, I'm sure you will be wonderful. Nice video, fun to see Bloom and sorry about your mirrors in garden, anxious to see how the vinyl works out.
Thats only what people say. God may give you beyond what you THINK you can handle, but God will turn to you and give you strength to do it, IF you turn to Him. Moses is the best example, he had a speech impediment and did not want to speak to Gods people, but God helped him. 1cor 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Thats in relation to temptation. God bless. You can do anything in Christ, you are a child of God ❤
Technically it was not a mirror...you spray-painted it with a mirror paint color, so no bad luck!!! 😊
If i was a bird🐦...I would fly to Ireland,into your garden and be friends with the other birds and hedghogs.What a l❤vely garden🏡.
I love the idea of the "light"mirror. Have a lovely week
I am sure you did a good job on tv. Can we see it on you tube somehow?
You were great!! I'd be rage'n about the mirrors too after just buy'n them but hey, not much can be done...hope you kept the broken pieces...maybe do a little mosaic crafty piece with them?? ❤
🎉 you can do it. The more often you do the more comfortable you will be. Remember the are only a few people in the room. Speaking positive affirmations will help.. form a cool South Africa.
I'd say you were brilliant. I wish I could find the episode to watch. If you had your own programme I'd definitely watch it. Well done and you have nothing to be shy about. You are great as you are. Well done
Just be you Catherine! You will be amazing, you know your stuff! We all have great confidence in you! 💝
Lovely video. You will b great on tv. Will be watching out for you🥰. Catherine you are flying it 🥰❤️🎉
Hi Catherine just pretend you talking to us on UA-cam . You will be fine ❤.
Your plant color choices are beautiful! Sure wish we could see your Telly presentation. Wonder if it would show up on UA-cam? Did you say the program is Ireland AM?
I had a friend advise me on immersion therapy, Anything you fear , make yourself do it over and over. Before you know it the fear is gone. She was so right. Love your channel ❤ sorry 😞 about the mirrors. Hugs
I bought an herb & when I planted it the soil was squishy like foam. Never seen that before. Lorraine
Bloom seems very much like Gardeners World show.
Just be your natural charming self, you have this.❣
Well, just go in and act like it is not public speaking that your just in chatting with people you can do that. I had the African daisy's last year they were so hardy, and the weather was pretty good they lived well past November.
If God sends you, he'll go before you and prepare the way! You can do this!
Just think you're talking to all of us. Picture in your mind that the audience is all sitting on the loo.
I absolutely love lupine ❤. Its such a show stopper. I have people stop their car at the end of my driveway to tell me how beautiful my garden is. I actually enjoy gardening and find it especially therapeutic 😊 I am definitely going to plan my visit to Ireland during this event in the future ❤ bucket list ✔️
Just recently found your channel. Love the wee projects you do 😂 it gives me hope and ideas.
Hi from Glasgow btw 👍
Hello there! glad you found me x
You’ve got this 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello, I love the flower pots that you did up. They're beautiful. Could you please tell me what the multi colored flower is on the back left at 24:27 is? I love the multi color of the plant. Thank you
Lol, its like robins know they are a picturesq postcard bird and place themselves right were we want them!
Oh NO! So sorry about your mirrors. Glad you have a plan to still take advantage of their beauty. So I was thinking that if they will have one or two chairs in the studio, you can bring your sofa pillows and add that to your set up like a little sitting area in a garden.❤ I'm sure you'll be great, just pretend you are presenting to us.
Just watched you Catherine you were brilliant well done ❤❤
Awwww thank you Mary 🙏🏼 I haven’t watched it back, I was too nervous 😆
Save ur broken mirror pieces and make a christmas tree. There's a how to on you tube. Love ur channel😊
