Panel Leader for Assessing Trade Stands at RHS Chelsea Flower Show
This year I am celebrating my 10th year of working with the RHS at Chelsea Flower Show to help them with judging their trade stands at the event. It is always such an honour to be asked to be a panel leader on the judging team. This year the show gardens and trade stands looked fantastic, there were so many beautiful gardens to share with you but these were my highlights ; The Newt in Somerset reconstructed a Roman garden filled with medicinal plants. The beautiful Bridgerton themed garden 💗 St James Piccadilly- Imagine the world to be different. In the photo below, I am standing in front of the inspiring garden, The freedom from torture garden – A sanctuary for survivors and not forgetting the amazing Japanese garden titled, Moroto no IE.
As Panel Leader, I was back at Chelsea on the Tuesday to help the RHS team to present awards for Outstanding and Excellent trade stands at this years @rhschelsea 💗 Well done to all the exhibitors, the level of exhibitor stands this year was so impressive to see !
It was such a pleasure to award The Horticulture Trades Association for their inspiring trade stand which theme showcases the profound benefits of gardening: boosting physical health, enhancing mental well being, fostering community, and supporting nature. Plus, each gift card purchased (or, in this case, donated) also supports GREENFINGERS CHARITY, creating magical gardens for children with life-limiting conditions to enjoy with their families.
The lovely ladies from Highgrove Gardens, who created a space bringing the theatre of Highgrove to Chelsea Flower Show !
The amazing lifestyle space created by Sophie Allport and a special mention to the amazing team at The Soho Lighting Company who created an outstanding space for their first time at Chelsea. Their beautiful range of sustainable and innovative lighting is definitely worth taking a look at, please find a link to their wonderful website below;
