Public Transport
Translink and Garden Show Ireland are encouraging visitors to 'go green' to the event and take advantage of plenty of room on board bus and rail services to transport festival purchases.
As an added bonus, Translink passengers can also enjoy £1 off the cost of their entrance ticket on Friday 21st May with a valid Translink ticket, making it even more worthwhile to 'go green'!
