Just arrived back from a day and a bit in London at Chelsea Flower Show. We were exhibiting some of our flowers on The UK Horticulture stand. This is coordinated by the NFU and sponsored by NS&I.
Not only did we scoop a gold medal (for the eleventh consecutive year) but we were also awarded the President's Award for the best exhibit in the show.
This is a fantastic result for all the growers who contributed flowers and produce. The victory really belongs to Penny Riley, the designer of the stand, and her team of florists. They created a first class showcase for British produce. Look out for plenty of coverage on the BBC. Hopefully this will be followed up with some good coverage for UK growers. You might even get to see my gormless face on tv at some point.
