Count down to RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012

I am privileged to be one of 16 florists from around the UK to take part in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Florist of the Year 2012. Each of us competitors won a heat; I gained an impressive 95 points out of 100 with competition piece and won the Southern Regional Heat.
Chelsea Flower Show Florist of the Year
This years schedule is ‘Diamonds are forever’ To Design & Create a Chandelier for the queen’s diamond jubilee. Quite a task, but a fabulous schedule… one that we can really get our teeth into.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show
is the beating heart of horticulture, showcasing the very best the gardening & Floristry the world has to offer. It’s Eagerly anticipated each year by so many, and that certainly includes us exhibitors, and that goes double for exhibitors that are in the competitions, seeking to add another medal to their collection…. this describes me perfectly.
The pinnacle of horticultural excellence
It truly is a spectacular extravaganza that bursts at the seams with cutting-edge show gardens, inspirational plant and floral displays and leading experts in every field. Visitors admire exquisite new plants, buy the latest garden innovations of every shape and colour you can image, tools and accessories that they never knew existed; let alone that they needed! while soaking-up the atmosphere at this prestigious, world-class flower show… oh the atmosphere, greatly enhanced by an addition of an ice cream & perhaps a Pimms.
