TREGOTHNAN CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW GARDEN
SHOWCASES AT THE AT THE OXO TOWER RESTAURANT
Not able to get a ticket to Chelsea Flower Show? Then don’t fear, the garden from Tregothnan - home to the UK’s first English tea plantation, will be exclusively showcased on the OXO Tower Restaurant balcony from 23 May until the end of June.
Taking inspiration from newsworthy issues the Tregothnan garden will, over the installation period, focus on three different themes: Bees, Teas and Trees.
23 May – 12 June Bees, the extraordinary ‘hive’
Bees: Such a topical subject and important on so many levels, the health of the honey bee is something we should all be considering. Tregothnan is committed to sustaining and developing crucially important natural habitats for bees, the plight of which is well documented. For this garden installation the Tregothnan team have created massive hives, standing over 6ft tall, specially designed for the Tregothnan Chelsea Flower Show garden by Robert Myers, the Chelsea Gold Medallist.
Honey from the Tregothnan gardens set on the Lizard, Cornwall, England’s most southerly point, has long been prized for its heather flavours, and now Manuka Honey, which is reputed for its anti-bacterial, health and healing properties is also being produced on site form Tregothnan’s own Manuka flowers.
THE REST OF THE STORY about the GARDEN IN THE SKY coming soon...
