After experiencing disruption because of the pandemic, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has returned in full force, with members of the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) and Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) scooping up several coveted awards.
The show takes place this week (Tuesday 24 – Sunday 28 May), with gardens promoting a range of important issues relevant to the entire industry, including sustainability and peat-free.
This year saw APL members hauling an impressive range of medals, including eight gold, five silver-gilt, seven silver, and one bronze, as well as three five-start rated trade stands.
Landscape Associates won Best in Show, Landform Consultants won Best Construction and Big Fish won Best Balcony/Container Garden.
Boyd Douglas-Davies, President, Horticultural Trades Association, said: “My congratulations go out to all the winners at what is promising to be a very successful RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022. This is going to be a great week for our HTA and APL members with so many of them getting the recognition they deserve. The displays have been phenomenal.”
