In May we will, once again, be heading to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show!
This year we are working with Hillier, the world-record holder for having the most consecutive gold medals at the show, as it embarks upon a staggering mission!
The Stihl Hillier Garden will be a momentous celebration of Hillier’s 155-year history and achievements, as it aims for a landmark 75th consecutive gold medal.
The company will be taking centre stage with its vast exhibit in the Grand Pavilion. It will be an immersive walkthrough, winding around the famous central monument bursting with planting inspiration throughout. The stunning display will cover a phenomenal 387.5m2, a staggering 85% increase on the 2019 garden!
Visitors will first approach an historic shopfront replica of the original Hillier shop in Winchester (that was purchased in 1864). This instantly transports visitors back to the humble beginnings of the company which started from a single florist shop and small patch of nursery land. Following a path past the shop, visitors will discover a large garden with a stone-walled walkway taking them on a journey filled with semi-mature trees, large shrubs and colourful herbaceous planting schemes. The finale of the garden’s winding walkway will be a water feature– a place to reflect on 155 years of history.
We can’t wait to see it come to life. We’ve got lots of exciting plans up our sleeves as part of the celebrations, which we’ll be revealing as the show gets closer so stayed tuned!!
