Our display on Main Avenue at Chelsea this year was a preview of our new Factory Shop at The Stoneworks in Wells. The ‘stable style’ cobbled courtyard was not only a new take on our Gothic Folly, but also contained numerous separate rooms – each a setting for one of the diverse selection of treasures to be found in The Stoneworks Factory Shop.

RHS Merit for Outstanding Presentation

In a milestone year Hillier won their 60^th consecutive Gold Medal as well as the President’s award for incumbent president’s favourite exhibit in the Floral Marquee for the 20^th time. In addition to this plantsman Ricky Dorlay was celebrating his 40^th Chelsea, and Andrew McIndoe his 15^th as the designer of the exhibit. In amongst the stunning planting were some of our antique stone pieces including these old millstones around the edge of the pond.

Gold Medal, The President’s Award

The Alitex Greenhouse exhibit on Main Avenue was based on the famous mediaeval gardens at the Prieure Notre Dame d’Orsan in the Berry region of France. One of the central features was a charming fountain designed and manufactured by Redwood Stone in the style of the very fountain at d’Orsan.
