We are over the moon to say that we won a gold medal in our very first year exhibiting. We had the most incredible response from the judges and the public alike. On press day Raymond Blanc cooked his wonderful Pistou Soup recipe in the frame which was loved by all! Raymond Blanc OBE, Hazel Gardiner Floral Designer, She Grows Veg Kate and LucyOur ‘Edimental’ exhibit was inspired by Renaissance painters’ portrayals of beautiful fruit and veg. We had 10 antique gilt frames on our display with different curations of vegetables in groupings by colour. Our approach has never been seen before at Chelsea, where traditional veg displays have been in situ for years.
