CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

The Kew conservatory was a great success at the Chelsea Flower Show 2005, everyone loved the Glass structure in the beautiful Lagoon, from the new Kew range of clours. Most visitors commented about the way a true conservatory can be used so informally, as a room to enjoy, potter around, grow, enjoy exotic Ferns & Palms, & especially to enjoy during long and late summer nights & throughtout all seasons.

One visitor commented: "Its Like having a piece of KEW in your garden"!! & how true that is.

In addition to a Certificate of merit for an outstanding presentation, for the first time, Hartley Botanic was also awarded the crystal trophey for EXCELLENCE of Presentation from the RHS.

We are Delighted.

PEOPLE IN GLASSHOUSES.....

A Hartley is the ultimate glasshouse - creating an environment based on the Victorian vision of utilising the unpredictable British climate to the full!

And people wanting glasshouses should go to Chelsea Flower Show and visit the Hartley Botanic stand (Main Ave. MA 16 ) to see the new Kew Conservatory System, which "uniquely" has the full approval of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, one the most respected and prestigious worldwide authorities. When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, huge stuctures like those at Kew were well established, but to ordinary Victorians the opportunity to bring the glamour of the winter garden into their homes was irresistible - thus botanical conservatories were born, providing hothouse plants and exotic fruits to enrich the Victorian diet and introduce the scent of the tropics.

And not just the Victorians. Today Hartley can number aristocracy, rock stars, actors and television personalities amongst their clients so whether you are a gardening professional or an enthusiastic amateur you will be in good company.

The Hartley Botanic stand has been designed by award-winning garden designer Claire Whitehouse who when she is not winning medals is a Garden judge for the Royal hHrticultural Society. ³We are thrilled that Claire is designing for us,² says Johnny Mobasher, the Managing Director of Hartley Botanic. ³I was always aware of her reputation and admired and enjoyed her gardens but our first real contact came a couple of years ago when, beset by bad weather, plant shortage and design problems, our stand looked like it was just not going to happen in time. Claire, who was designing a different garden at the time, was passing by. Within a quarter of an hour or so, our stand was swamped with helpers and plant suppliers - it was like the cavalry arriving to save the day. Later, we won a certificate for outstanding display! I have never forgotten, so when we were looking for a designer for this year¹s Chelsea Flower Show, Claire was our first choice.²
