We have been awarded another RHS Chelsea Gold!
That makes it 6 consecutive Chelsea Golds.
This year’s display was the biggest we’ve ever taken to Chelsea, packed with succulents we’ve been growing down in Cornwall all year. The judges loved it, and hearing what visitors thought of it throughout the week has been really special.
The messages we’ve had from customers since the medal was announced have been so kind. Thank you to everyone who got in touch. It means more than we can say.
Our biggest Chelsea garden yet
The display was just over 9 metres long and 2.4 metres wide, and honestly it grew a bit beyond what we’d originally planned: more corten steel bowls, more plants in the van, two extra steel bowls and a bit more of everything making the journey up from Penzance.
Watching it come together during the build days is something we won’t forget in a hurry, and we’re really proud of it.
A huge team effort
Getting a display this size to Chelsea and back takes a lot of people. A massive thank you to everyone who was with us on the road, and to everyone back at the nursery in Penzance who held things together while we were away.

Spot us on BBC Gardeners’ World?
We were on Episode 2 of BBC Gardeners’ World this year. Did you catch it? The whole team was thrilled and we’re still not quite over it.
If you’re at the show, come and find us at Stand 48 in the Great Pavilion. We love a chat, whether it’s about what’s on the display or what’s happening in your own garden.
