2006
Chelsea Flower Show - Once again we were awarded a Silver-Gilt Medal (one down from a Gold) at this year's Chelsea Flower Show. Our fifth in a row!
But medals are not everything - the visitors who saw the stand were very complimentary and we felt it was another good display of early large flowered clematis and it prompted tremendous interest and many orders.
As we are concentrating on the nursery a little more this year we will not be at any of the large selling shows such as Hampton Court. These shows are now far less profitable for us and are extrememly demanding of time and staffing. We are sorry for any disappointment caused.
We like to display our clematis in a fairly realistic way to give ideas and inspiration to our customers and visitors, but this does mean we do not always please the judges completely as they look for total perfection of flower positioning in a floral art sense. We prefer to reflect the more real life aspects of horticulture.

2005
Chelsea Flower Show - At Chelsea Flower Show in May we were awarded a Silver-Gilt Medal (one down from a Gold). This is the fourth year in succession that we have had the same award. We now have some of the Patio Clematis available. These were featured at Chelsea and on television with the breeder and introducer, Raymond Evison. Hamton Court Palace Flower Show - Yet another Silver-Gilt Medal from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) for our exhibit of Clematis. Flower Shows
2004
Chelsea Flower Show - Once again we were awarded a Silver-Gilt Medal with
which we are very pleased.
We exhibited about 70 cultivars of clematis on our stand and were delighted
with the response from both public and press.
For personal and business reasons we are unable to exhibit at other shows
in 2004. On our Chelsea exhibit this year, we featured our two new introductions

Our stand at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2001
We were very pleased with the stand and had many compliments on the display.
The display was much admired by the public and our new introductions were very popular. These were a new viticella from Japan called 'Night Veil', a scrambling herbaceous type from Holland called 'Jan Fopma' and a stunning new introduction from England named 'Remembrance'. This is a very good mid - late summer flowering cultivar that has many flowers of a beautiful raspberry red.
Without the huge commitment that these shows require we will be
able to spend more time at the nursery and with the family and return our
clematis display garden to the standard we feel it deserves.
'Fond Memories' and 'Pamina'.
We also featured a new introduction from
Holland bred by our friend Wim Snoeijer, this is a non-clinging scrambler
called 'Hendryetta'.
We were very pleased
to be invited to exhibit for the first time at the Chelsea Flower Show in
2001. We were awarded a Silver Medal and were delighted to receive so many
compliments from the visitors to the show. Part of our stand can be seen on
the right.
At Hampton
Court Palace Flower Show we were awarded a Silver-Gilt medal AND the Rose Bowl
for the Best Floral Marquee Exhibitor New to the Show!
