Day 2 of Chelsea, The Award

Our very own Certificate of Merit

The sun might not be shining this morning but there were sunny smiles all round when we were greeted with a Certificate of Merit for the outstanding presentation of our stand. This is a great achievement for all the hard work that has gone into our first Chelsea stand.

A few close up photos of the stand to show the detail in the design set off by Aquilega Kristall, Alchemilla Gold Strike, Paeonia Duchess de Nemours and the Buxus sempervirens (Box) hedge.

This picture shows the skilled craftsmanship of the ironwork by John Naysmith from The Oxford Iron Company. The peacock is exquisite and was chosen because of the 100 year old Rudyard Kipling poem "The Glory of the Garden" of which extracts were taken for the back drop of the stand.
