Hampton Court 25th Anniversary

Did you see the amazing maze at Hampton Court Flower Show?! We were so proud to be involved with this extraordinary project by garden designer Tony Smith. Our Florence Nightingale urns were displayed in various prominent positions throughout the 25th anniversary feature which took two weeks to build and had to be watered almost constantly in the searing heat! Tony could be seen with hose in hand throughout the duration of RHS Hampton, he almost became a permanent water feature!

Take a read back through that fascinating story here.

Our collaborative garden ‘A Growing Obsession’ was extremely successful, the visitors loved it and it also attracted some very well known faces! We were even lucky enough to have a Royal visit in the form of Princess Alexandra who stayed and chatted for a good while and posed for photographs in the scented scenery… image image We couldn’t be happier with our involvement in both these brilliant projects. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible!
