RocketGro celebrate exposure at Chelsea Flower Show
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

With two of the show gardens at Chelsea Flower Show 2026 exclusively using RocketGro compost for all their planting, RocketGro have moved to become the compost producer of choice for garden designers at the very top level. 

 

With two Balcony gardens using the best selling RocketGro Organic Approved Peat-Free Multi-Purpose with added John Innes Compost product as the compost for the entire build of these gardens, RocketGro have moved to next level. Rebecca Lloyd Jones garden designer of ‘The Transient Garden’, and May Starey the garden designer of ‘The Angels Share’ both choosing RocketGro products, and the company could not be more thrilled.

 

 

RocketGro Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “Another big moment in the ongoing growth story of our business has arrived. We are 5.5 years young, and to be producing products of such quality that they now make their way into Chelsea Flower Show is a testament to the teams hard work, a validation of our strategy, and proof of concept if anyone is looking for that. These designers chose RocketGro. No money changed hands. RocketGro’s story is unique, on trend, and gaining more and more momentum. Garden centres that do not yet stock us should get on board and chat to us. Garden Centres who have switched to RocketGro for 2026 have seen compost sales in some cases up by almost 30% year on year. This is well ahead of the rest of the market. Exciting times!”
