It's a Bronze Medal for Bradstone at Chelsea

June 2005

The Bradstone Spring Garden has been awarded a bronze medal at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show – Bradstone’s fifth Chelsea medal in the past six years.

Designed by Chelsea veteran, Alan Sargent, and built by his son, James Steele-Sargent, the fabulous garden incorporates 1,000 years of planting including a number of 80 year old acers!

The garden groups mature, established species with more recent specimens, demonstrating how mixing together old and new planting proves to be a winning combination.

Alan says, “We’re absolutely delighted with the medal. The whole team has worked so hard over the past few months to create this garden and we’re thrilled that our efforts have been recognised by the judges at the RHS. The show, as always, has been a phenomenal success and we really do hope that the visitors to Chelsea enjoyed viewing the garden as much as we did creating it.”

Paul Wagstaff, Marketing Manager for Bradstone, added, “We’ve worked with Alan on many occasions and once again he has come up with a stunning garden. I have a lot of respect for Alan and I’m very pleased that he has got this medal to add to the other 60 he has won over the last 23 years!”
