Wow, what a week it’s been! Not only have we been really busy in the shop over Easter but our plans for Chelsea have taken on a new pace…
On Wednesday I travelled to London to meet up with the contractors who are making the nine doorways for the exhibit. I really wanted to make the most of the meeting as it would be our last opportunity to get together before the build. And there was plenty to talk about. Every small detail needs to be taken into consideration – how will the doorways stand up to warm weather conditions, how will the floral foam sit inside of each doorway, what about watering the flowers and replenishment? There’s just so much that needs to be thought through… Read more >>

It’s just six weeks until the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and there’s still plenty of work to be done behind the scenes.
I’ve had a prototype doorway in my shop since February which David Ragg and I have been working on most days. David Ragg designed Interflora’s Gold Medal winning exhibit, ‘Progression’ at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show last year so it’s great to have him on hand this year to assist me with my design.

Once again we’re planning to wow the crowds at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Award-winning florist David Denyer will be creating a stunning floral design exhibit entitled ‘A Sense of Perspective’.
After the success of last year’s exhibit – ‘Progression’ by fellow Interflora florist David Ragg – David is going to have a tough act to follow.
The exhibit will consist of a series of doorways flowing down a seven-metre space in the prestigious Great Pavilion. Read more >>

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show was one of the most spectacular yet. We had the opportunity to launch new products and there were medals all round for our florists.
We started off the week with the launch of our new Scented Roses collection. Everyone at the event was eagerly coming up to the Interflora stand to smell the four gorgeous new bouquets, which are full of unusual, strong smelling Fairtrade roses.

Thursday was the first day for the general public to visit Chelsea and it was busy, busy, busy!
The sun took a little longer to shine, but it came out at last and with temperatures a lot less scorching than they had been at the beginning of the week. It was perfect weather for viewing gardens, admiring new plants and treating yourself to the occasional ice cream. It was also a very good day for our young florists who were busy creating floral parasols.

Generally it’s the large show gardens at Chelsea which make the headlines, as that is where most of the razzmatazz can be found and where some serious money has been spent.
And although these gardens are indeed impressive, when it comes to cost this year is a little different…

This has been a fantastic start to Chelsea week by Interflora as we won a Gold Medal! Well done to David Ragg and David Denyer, who designed and executed the most exquisite display on the theme of progression.
It was a reminder that the one thing that always stands out when you visit Chelsea is the perfection of the exhibits, not one creased petal, not one blade of grass pointing in the wrong direction, and that was the level that the two Davids achieved with their work, a gold medal well deserved.
