While Rosy and the rest of the team no longer produce a floral exhibit at RHS Chelsea flower show. This year, Rosy has been mentoring and designing with a new garden designer, Emma Tipping to produce a feature garden sponsored by UBS and the RHS.
'A Day on the Nursery: Insights into Life as a Grower' provided a 800 sqm immersive experience in the Grand Pavilion, which gave visitors a rare opportunity to step onto a large-scale exhibit.

'A Day on the nursery: insights into life as a grower” featured 4 nurseries: the Caley Brothers Mushrooms, Kent Wildflower Seeds, Kitchen Garden Plant Centre and She Grows Veg, all of whom demonstrated edible planting whether these be plants or wildflowers.
The feature offered an insight into innovative garden design, sustainable horticulture and making planting accessible for a wide range of growing spaces.
