Crocus at the Chelsea Flower Show 2023

We've won two Gold Medals at this year's Chelsea Flower Show

We're thrilled to announce that we have won two Gold Medals at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The Nurture Landscapes Garden, designed by Sarah Price, and the Centrepoint Garden, designed by Cleve West, are our 35th and 36th gardens at Chelsea and both have won Gold. The results bring our grand total to 33 Gold Medals. Discover more about the gardens and the journey we've been on with them below.

It's Gold for The Nurture Landscapes Garden

Designed by Sarah Price, the inspiration for the garden came from a trip to Benton End, the former home of the renowned artist Sir Cedric Morris. A passionate gardener, Morris amassed an impressive plant collection, but iris became his passion - and he bred many of his own ‘Benton' strains. With her artistic background and painterly approach, Sarah has captured the spirit of Benton End at Chelsea with a really unique garden that celebrates craftsmanship as much as plants.

It's Gold for the Centrepoint Garden

Designed by Cleve West, the garden acts as a metaphor for the challenges that young people face when they become homeless, the garden is centred around a large, derelict building, which is slowly being enveloped by nature. At first glance, the use of both native and ornamental trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals (a few of which could even be considered 'weeds' to some), may appear fractured, but on closer inspection, it reveals a flourishing ecosystem that signifies the rebirth of something fresh and new, while at the same time highlighting the restorative power of nature over time.

Crocus at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show

By working so closely with the best designers in the business at Chelsea every year, we get to keep our fingers on the pulse. We can discover their favourite (often lesser-known) plants, see how they combine them to create beautiful pairings, and watch how they choose to plant them. This compels us to constantly re-evaluate the plant selection on our website, tracking down many hard to find older treasures, while also adding in new and exciting ones that we believe have something special to offer.

As many of the plants we use in our show gardens are propagated and grown here on our nursery in Windlesham (side by side with the plants we sell), our specialist growers have developed some top-notch skills. Year on year, this means we can constantly improve on our own standards, producing first-rate plants that everyone can enjoy - whether it's at the show, or in their own home.
