Highlights of 2022

Gaze burvill trade stand at RHS Chelsea flower show 2022 award winning show garden design

Chelsea 2022

We returned to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Gaze Burvill and, for the second year in a row, celebrated 5 stars for our trade stand. With its bold colour palette catching people’s eye, it was enjoyed by everyone from our volunteer planting team to Dame Judi Dench herself!

Chelsea was quickly followed by the Philadelphia Flower Show, where the team received 3 awards, including the prestigious Environmental Award from the American Horticultural Society. It was such an honour to take part in the longest running flower show in the world.

SGD Awards 2022

In September we were thrilled and honoured to accept not one, but two awards at the Society of Garden Designers Awards 2022 for The World Food Garden at RHS Wisley in Surrey. Both our World Food Garden and our Wildlife Garden surround the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hilltop, the home of gardening science.
