157,000 people visit Chelsea, the world’s most famous flower show, and we were delighted to have been chosen to create a small urban garden for the 'Unexpected Gardener’.
And we were even more excited when this garden won a Gold medal! The designer of our garden is Jo Thompson, who was a previous Chelsea medal winner and created the Thrive garden for a stylish mature gentleman and keen gardener who, although finding gardening more challenging physically than in the past, does not want to compromise his design choices.
Thrive’s disabled gardeners at Reading and Battersea were involved with our Chelsea garden right from the start and grew some of the plants that featured in the final design.
