RHS Chair of Judges, James Alexander-Sinclair said of the award winning garden:
“It’s exciting to be back at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May, and while all of this year’s gardens are sensational, a few really stood out. It was a hard-fought debate between the members of the judging panel to decide which garden to award Best in Show. In the end, all the judges were captivated by the skill, endeavour and charm of A Rewilding Britain Landscape – every step is exquisite.”

Subsequently, it was canceled only during the periods of the First and Second World Wars. Each time the exhibition area increased, the compositions became more refined and brighter, and new nominations appeared in the competition program. Some gardeners prefer to make whimsical installations, others like minimal decoration that does not overshadow the beauty of flowers. As, for example, on this exposition of lilies.
