Matthew Wilson to tell Chelsea medal story at Tong GC

TV and radio gardening expert and award winning RHS Chelsea Flower Show designer, Matthew Wilson will revisit Tong Garden Centre this week (19 July) for a ‘Cream Tea and Talk' event to share his experience of designing the show's biggest garden.

Wilson was commissioned to design the Welcome to Yorkshire garden, ‘God's Own County - A Garden For Yorkshire', that was inspired by the East Window at York Minster and featured Yorkshire grown plants supplied by Tong Garden Centre.

Wilson, the former curator of RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate and respected writer, broadcaster and lecturer, will talk to Tong's customers about the inspiration behind the design, the challenges of creating a Main Avenue garden and the garden's silver medal and People's Choice award.

Tong Garden Centre, which offers a lifetime guarantee on all its hardy plants, is one of Yorkshire's biggest garden centres with 110,000 square feet of retail space and parking for up to 1,000 cars on its 17-acre site.
