The Chelsea Floristry and Floral Design winners have been announced
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show Floristry and Floral 2023 awards have now been announced, with three displays taking home the gold.
Hubbards Florist's 'The Beauty of Recycling', Helen James Flowers' 'On the Verge' and Julie Pearson Floral Designer's 'A Botanical Spillage' were the gold medallists for 2023.
'The Beauty of Recycling' was designed to demonstrate how nature and recyclable objects work in harmony together by taking raw materials making "them unique with a modern twist" in a multitude of colourful flowers.
'A Botanical Spillage' also showcased the interaction between nature and manmade materials, featuring a range of botanicals pouring out of an oil barrel "to embody the dissonance between humankind's actions and the fragile beauty of the natural world."
'On the Verge' was inspired by wasteland and roadside planting projects which transform underused pockets of space into wildlife havens which "help counteract the impact of human life on our environment."
Last year, there were two gold medals awarded as well as silver-gilt, silver and bronzes distributed. The competition debuted in 2021 with an overall concept of "Our World" and returned for 2022. Prizes are divided into two categories; Floral Window and Installation.
