It's a GOLD at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2024

We were thrilled to receive another RHS Gold medal for our display at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.  Our display achieved top marks on all criteria. And again, we were thoroughly delighted as we've had challenging weather this spring and summer which has impacted pot temperatures and the timing of flowering.  As we don't force plants with heat or light our task in getting show quality plant material is made just a little more difficult.
