RHS Hampton Court Palace 2017

We had some gorgeous weather this year at RHS Hampton Court Palace. The atmosphere was buzzing and we had some great laughs with friends.

Here’s some photos of setting up, our display, and a few from around the grounds as well.

A healthy lunch in between planting!

We got another gold to add to our growing collection, always nice to see all the stress and hard work paying off!

I was on the potting bench posters dotted about the grounds, which I was on most days, only missing one out. These are great to go to at the shows as lots of industry experts talk about how to get the best out of your plants and potting tips and tricks.

We did ask customers and other exhibitors to join us!

As usual there were some stunning creative art installations and show gardens. Have a look at out Facebook page to see even more photos from the show. We always put them up as we go along, as long as time permits of course!

RHS Harlow Carr Flower Show 2017

We are back from a lovely long weekend at RHS Harlow Carr. This is the new award we won at the RHS gardens. They start at 3 sunflowers and go to 5 sun flowers, so we are pleased the judges liked our new display! You can see the photos of us putting it together and the finished product below. We brought some cute metal bikes to include in our display and love the way it turned out.

Primula candelabra in the Harlow Carr garden were stunning. We will have some we’ve grown very soon for sale, so keep an eye on the website!

Tiarella ‘Spring symphony’ in the gardens, available on our website here if you love it as much as we do. It’s got gorgeous delicate white flowers springing up from the foliage.

Our next show is Hampton Court Palace July 4th-9th which is one of our favourite shows to go to, there’s always spectacular creative show gardens as well as specialist growers like us. Tickets are still available if you’re interested in going.

BBC Gardeners World Live 2017

Another show over, and another lovely medal. Thanks so much to the judges at BBC Gardener’s World Live this year for a Platinum Award for our display. Vicky and Carol Klein are pictured above holding our newest award. This year marked 50 years of Gardeners World, so it was a really great atmosphere. Here are some photos of our finished display and the set up going on before the judging.

This week we are at RHS Harlow Carr, so if you’d like to follow along, make sure you like our Facebook page here.

The First RHS Chatsworth Flower Show

Don’t let these sunny photos fool you, the first ever RHS Chatsworth show was mainly drowned out by rain! Despite this, everyone did a beautiful job with their displays and show gardens, and as we are British, the rain didn’t keep everyone away. Here are some photos we took of mainly the outside gardens and displays as it was such a pretty place to hold a show.

We were in the floral marquee with other specialist nursers, and were very pleased to take home a Gold at the first Chatsworth show! As a new show you never quite no how things will go but everyone did a fantastic job, even having to wade through the mud and rain.

Right now we are at BBC Gardener’s World Live in Birmingham at stand FM20 in the Floral Marquee, so if you’re coming make sure you stop by and see us!

 

Chelsea Flower Show 2017

Well we are done with Chelsea Flower Show for another year, and what a fantastic week for it! Lots of sunshine and of course smiles all around for us as we took home another gold to add to our collection. We even got to see the Queen come by and Princess Kate. Here’s a few photos for those who weren’t able to make it.

Our newest Hechera, ‘Sweet Caroline’.

We were on BBC radio Stoke talking about the show and our experiences.

Here’s Richard packing up and getting ready for us to head home! Still smiling after a full on week. Thank you so much for all of your support, and to those who stopped by our stand to say hi and learn a little more about caring for Heucheras, Heucherella, and Tiarellas.

The next show is a new one, Chatsworth Flower Show, June 7th-11th. Set in the stunning grounds of Chatsworth house, this new RHS show promises to combine classic and contemporary designs and plants. The show will be set over the extensive far reaching grounds, so be sure to fully explore to try and see everything! We will be in ‘The Great Conservatory’ with other specialist nurseries.
