And that’s a wrap! The RHS Flower Show Tatton Park has closed its doors for another year. But what a whirlwind of a week it has been. From unveiling our first exhibition garden in over twenty years to being busy bees over at our stall, and even winning 3 awards for the design – it's safe to say that Tatton Flower Show 2023 was eventful.

Here’s everything you might have missed if you didn’t manage to visit the Tatton Flower Show this year.

The ‘Chained to Tech’ Garden Turns Heads

Designed by award-winning garden designer Rachel Platt, the ‘Chained to Tech’ garden was inspired by the ever-growing epidemic of technology addiction. With technological components hidden around the garden, the design looked to challenge our outlook on mental health and how tech addiction can affect your mental well-being, while also showcasing our extensive online product range. Not an easy task, but Rachel was a pro and incorporated points of the brief within her design.

Over the week, we were overwhelmed with the sheer number of compliments on the garden design; The time and resources spent planning the garden were certainly acknowledged over the length of the event.

Rachel spoke all about the garden, its design, and her inspiration while designing the garden in this exclusive interview.
