The Trailfinders Australian Garden by Fleming’s is always a very popular exhibit at Chelsea. And this year was no different, with a design encompassing a studio space that looks like it is floating above the garden in a flower-like structure.
Best Artisan Garden went to the Japanese garden, An Alcove (Tokonoma) Garden for their depiction of a traditional tatami room.
For the Fresh Gardens, After the Fire took the Best Fresh Garden award with their interpretation of a forest regeneration.
In the Great Pavilion the Diamond Jubilee Award went to Warmenhoven for their display of alliums and amaryllis. The President’s Award went to Blackmore & Langdon for their delphinium and begonia display.
