RHS CHELSEA 2024 GOLD MEDAL WINNING PELHAM PLANTS NURSERY!  On their second visit to RHS Chelsea, the team at Pelham Plants were delighted to be awarded a Gold Medal from the RHS judges!  The nursery was part of a collaborative of micro-nurseries from the Plant Fairs Roadshow who exhibited in the Great Pavilion. The wonderful feedback from the visitors at Chelsea was just as rewarding as the Gold Medal.  Once again, the BBC featured the Chelsea journey of the collaborative from the Plant Fairs Roadshow in one of their Chelsea programmes!  You can see this programme, including Paul being interviewed at the Pelham Plants exhibition at Chelsea, on BBC iplayer by clicking here (our feature is from 8 mins 19 secs to 11 mins 30 secs).

We were overwhelmed that the garden here at Pelham Plants Nursery was featured on the front page of the September 2023 issue of The English Garden magazine! There’s a seven page article, “After Glow” inside, with fabulous photos by Nicky Flint of Sussex Stills and wondeful words by Ed Flint, Gardener, Consultant & Lecturer.

Pelham Plants Nursery exhibited at their first RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2023.  The nursery was part of a collaborative of micro-nurseries from the Plant Fairs Roadshow who exhibited in the Great Pavilion. It was a fantastic experience for the Pelham Plants team, who were not only delighted with their Silver Medal, but more importantly the huge love shown by the public for the display.  As if this wasn’t enough, the BBC featured the Chelsea journey of the collaborative from the Plant Fairs Roadshow in one of their Chelsea programmes!  You can see this programme, including Paul being interviewed here at Pelham Plants and at Chelsea on iplayer by clicking here (our feature is from 10 mins 45 secs to 19 mins 35 secs).
