Thousands will fill the display gardens of this year's Bloom Festival over the bank holiday weekend.

Garden enthusiasts will be descending on the Capital today, as Bloom makes its return.

Food and drink stalls and a designated fashion area will be on offer, but the main attraction will be the show gardens.
