We won Best Exhibit in the Floral Marquee!
Our first ever Best Exhibit, and a Gold Medal to match, at the 2026 RHS Badminton Flower Show.
We have some news from the Floral Marquee. At the 2026 RHS Badminton Flower Show, our succulent display was named Best Exhibit in the Floral Marquee. It is the first time we have ever won the award, and we are over the moon about it. To make the week even sweeter, the judges also awarded the display a Gold Medal.
RHS medals are awarded to every exhibit that reaches the judges' standard, so several nurseries can take home a Gold from the same show. Best Exhibit is different. There is only one, chosen from every display in the whole Marquee, and this year the judges chose ours. It will sit proudly alongside our RHS Chelsea Gold Medals and our RHS Plant of the Year 2022 win for x Semponium 'Destiny'.
The Winning Display
The stand was built around tiers of charred timber planters, every one of them filled with plants grown at the nursery. Towering heads of Aeonium 'Pomegranate' rose above bowls of 'Blushing Beauty', 'Dynamite' and 'Pink Witch', with carpets of Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg', Sedum 'Sandra Mottram' and Graptoveria 'Milky Way' running between the spikes of Agave, Yucca filifera and Dasylirion longissimum.
A display like this is not put together in a week. Some of these plants were raised by us from seed for over six years before they were ready for the show bench. Then the whole garden travelled up from Penzance with us, every last pot of it.
An RHS Debut for Aeonium 'Limelight'
The stand also held a quiet milestone: the first ever appearance of Aeonium 'Limelight' in an RHS display. 'Limelight' is a brand new Surreal hybrid, bred here at the nursery by Daniel Michael and selected for its compact growth and bright lime rosettes.
Seeing a plant go from a seed tray in Cornwall to a Best Exhibit stand is exactly why we do this. We think it more than earned its place.
