Blue Diamond Garden Centres are taking part in this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, exhibiting in the Discovery Zone where they have two stands, one in collaboration with the National Trust and one with the Soil Association.
Blue Diamond are working closely with the National Trust and their Plant Conservation Centre, to bring rare and heritage plants into commercial production which will then be available to buy exclusively through Blue Diamond Garden Centres.
A minimum of 10% of the selling price per product will be donated by Blue Diamond to the National Trust to help look after nature, beauty and history for everyone, for ever.
Blue Diamond have already developed collections of seeds, bulbs, roses, native trees and herbaceous borders, all inspired by the places cared for by the National Trust, which they will showcase on their stand in the Discovery Zone at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
At the Show, Blue Diamond will also be opening the registration of an exclusive online auction, for one of ten very special trees. These apple trees are direct descendants to the tree that inspired Newton’s theory of gravity, which can still be seen at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire, which is cared for by the National Trust.
The auction will take place in September and those who are who are successful in their bid, will become custodians of these historically significant trees.
Blue Diamond have pledged that they will donate up to 50% of proceeds raised from this auction to the National Trust, dependant on the final sums raised.
