'Blue Diamond Garden Centres;- An Immersive Walk-Through our Homegrown Collection'
We are delighted to return to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year, following our outstanding success last year that saw us being awarded our first ever Gold Medal, along with the prestigious ‘Tree of the Show’ accolade for the exceptional Acer palmatum ‘Shishigashira’.
Building on last year’s success, we are once again aiming for Gold with an ambitious new exhibit, constructed by Peter Dowle and his team at Leaf Creative.
Our Exhibit
This year our exhibit will showcase the breadth, quality and relevance of plants grown directly in Blue Diamond’s nurseries, while addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing today's gardeners, and will be the only fully immersive, walk-through exhibit in the Great Pavilion.
Situated in a central location near to the Monument, it will also be one of the largest exhibits in the Great Pavilion, spanning 240 square metres and featuring over 35 metres of walk-through pathways for visitors to explore.
The exhibit will showcase Blue Diamond Garden Centres’ extensive and diverse plant range, with most plants available to purchase across all Blue Diamond Garden Centres nationwide, including new and exclusive plant introductions, and three new roses bred by Rosen Tantau, one launched on behalf of the charity Hospice UK.
Designed to inspire, while remaining practical and achievable, the exhibit will address key gardening themes such as drought-tolerant planting, growing food in small spaces, and sustainable gardening practices.
Visitors can expect to explore a series of carefully curated zones, including ‘Thrive Not Just Survive’ drought-tolerant planting, Tropical Houseplants, Jungle-Inspired displays, Shade-Loving plants, Green Walls, Vertical Allotments, Cottage Gardening, and more. Adding theatre and drama to the experience, the exhibit will feature a striking, full-scale waterfall, creating a truly memorable sensory journey.
