Silver Medal awarded to Brett Landscaping at Royal Chelsea Flower Show
23/05/2007
Brett Landscaping and Building Products has been awarded silver medal at the 85th annual Royal Chelsea Flower Show, for its show garden design, ‘The Relationships Garden’.
The accolade marks the Kent company’s debut at the historic flower show, after winning several rounds of RHS vetting procedures to be named one of just 20 prestigious show gardens.
A panel of specialist RHS judges singled out Brett’s ‘Relationships Garden’, within the Show Garden Category, after the official assessors checked that the garden met all the RHS’s specific judging criteria. Over 600 floral and garden exhibitions were featured at the show and competed for the medals.
Designed in collaboration with already award winning designer Geoff Whiten, the Chelsea Flower Show’s longest serving exhibitor, ‘The Relationships Garden’ presents visitors with a scene straight from the English countryside, complete with tumble down farm worker’s cottage, outbuildings, pond, jetty and even a little duck house. It captures the colours, smells and shapes of a lovingly tended rural garden with buildings created using a mixture of natural stone, concrete block paving and walling products, drawn from the Brett Landscaping range. In the garden, an array of wild flowers including English hostas, grasses, iris, lobelia and waterlillies bring a dramatic romance to the idyllic scene.
Brett Landscaping’s Marketing Director, Shirley Mansfield says of the win, “We are absolutely delighted; this win reflects all the hard work and consideration that went in to creating a traditional English paradise in the middle of a London flower show.”
She continues, “Being chosen this year as one of the show’s final 20 gardens was a great opportunity to create a spectacular exhibit. Brett Landscaping’s corporate ethos is ‘built on relationships’ so we wanted our first exhibition at this historic show to reflect exactly how our customers feel about their gardens and the relationships our gardens can inspire. We also wanted to showcase our products in their natural environment to enthuse a new audience of installers and homeowners, looking to create their perfect outdoor space this summer. The award is the icing on the cake of what has been a wonderful experience and we look forward to the possibilities of next year.”
Brett Landscaping, part of the independent Brett Group, moved into the landscaping and building products market just seven years ago. Since then it has gone from newcomer to a prominent player, overtaking many long established competitors with its offering of stunning hard-landscaping products and excellent customer service. This award further cements its position as a market leader.
