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. Just over 9 metres long and 2.4 metres wide, 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 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
Just over 9 metres long and 2.4 metres wide. It’s the biggest display we’ve ever taken to Chelsea, and honestly it grew a bit beyond what we’d originally planned. More corten steel bowls, more plants in the van, two extra steel bowl and a bit more of everything making the journey up from Penzance.
Watching it come together during the build days was something we won’t forget in a hurry. We’re proud of it. Really proud.
A Huge Team Effort
Getting a display of this size to Chelsea and back takes a huge amount from 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 holding things together while we were away. You all played a part in this.
And to our customers, the messages we've had from you this week have been really touching. Thank you. It means a lot to hear from you.

Spotted 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. Come and say hello.
Got any photos of the display? Tag us. We love seeing it through other people’s eyes.
Ends Monday: Name Our Brand New Hybrid
Amongst everything else this week, we're also showing a brand new cultivar for the very first time. It's been growing quietly in the tunnels back in Cornwall, and now it's here in the Great Pavilion without a name.
We'd love your help with that. We're running a competition to name it, and there's a very special prize for whoever wins. Head to the webpage for the full details on how to enter.
You could win a £200 Gift Card!
