As garden-lovers flock to view the colourful creations at this year’s Bord Bia Bloom, one garden designer hopes to spread an important message about staying on top of our health and recognising symptoms that may need investigation by a doctor.

Robert Moore lost his mother to cancer in 2019 and aims to honour her memory and raise awareness for the Marie Keating Foundation’s cancer campaigns with his exhibition, which he calls ��Catching Cancer Early’.
