RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024
Despite the rain, it was another fantastic RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Press Day (which was, fortunately, beautiful weather) brought a very special visitor to our stand: Dame Judi Dench!
Plans for 2024!
2024 looks to be just as exciting and busy as 2023. We’ve kicked off the year by launching a new retailers/stockists website, to enable all of our lovely stockists to order their stock online. Read more about our plans for 2024 here!
2023… What a busy year!
We traditionally take some time in January (and February) to take a look back at the year prior, whilst making plans for the year ahead. It’s also the time of year we work on bespoke commissions before the busy show season commences again. Read more about our 2023 adventures here!

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021: What a joyous event!
We have just returned from a truly wonderful (and very tiring) RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021. Postponed from May 2020, RHS Chelsea 2021 was a historic event: Held, for the first time in its 108-year history, in September. Despite the challenges this posed to designers and growers, the planting throughout the Show site was beautiful: a strong naturalistic planting theme with masses of perennials (definitely the year of the Echinacea!) and grasses.- Jess the Marketing Gardener
