What Alasdair has to say about Chelsea:

‘Chelsea is a wonderful opportunity for the entire trade of Horticulture, Landscape Design and Build to get united. It is always exciting to see the new aspirations of Garden Designers setting new challenges;  both through material and plant use,  within the confounds of a garden design for a garden at The Chelsea Flower show. This is coupled with the wonderful opportunity of viewing so many plants, bulbs and trees within the Marquee and connecting with many a trusted supplier.’

What Randle has to say about Chelsea this year:

Cha No Niwa, Japanese Tea Garden “This is undoubtedly the best this year. And he is consistent started off with doing small little gardens and was persuaded recently to go onto Main Avenue and he has certainly excelled in every way possible.”

This year Cha No Niwa’s Japanese Garden won Gold for his garden. Quite something for his first year on Main Avenue!
