Guy Hands on Dobbies, golds for Hilliers, Taylors and Javado, Town & Country cheque for Greenfingers - GTN's Chelsea highlights
Chelsea 2015 - Press Day TP 01.jpg

It may have been a really damp and dreary start for members of the gardening industry at Chelsea yesterday but by the time the press and VIPS were asked to leave in advance of the Royal visit the sun was shining and there were smiles all round.

Guy Hands, supporting Burncoose Nurseries, told GTN Xtra he was happy with the performance of Wyevale Garden Centres. "They are going well, it’s been a good year weather wise and some of the weatherproofing we’re doing, trying to put other leisure activities in to attract people all year round that’s doing well too."

When asked about Dobbies, he said: "Well I can’t say anything about that, but I’d love to," adding, “I don’t know when anything will happen, it’s all up to Tescos.”



In the middle of the Grand Pavillion, Andy MacIndoe was holding court on the Hilliers exhibit waiting to find out if their 'Crossing Continents’ exhibit had won them their 70th Gold Medal which was confirmed this morning along with yet another Gold Medal for Taylors Bulbs.



RHS Plant of the Year was awarded to Javado's Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Kilimanjaro Sunrise' which was exhibited on the Burncoose stand.  A jubilant Chris Campbell told GTN Xtra: "This plant will be available for the autumn and judging by the feedback it will be a great seller."



Just as the showground was cleared for the the Royal visit, Jamieson Page from Town & Country presented a cheque to Greenfingers Trustees Matthew WIison and Carol Paris.  The cheque for monies raised on Garden Re-Leaf Day 2015 was handed over on the Royal Bank of Canada Garden, which will be relocated by Greenfingers to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on the Isle of Wight after the show.
