Win VIP tickets to RHS Chatsworth Flower Show, an exclusive tour and overnight stay
Wealth manager Brewin Dolphin is offering three readers the chance to win a pair of tickets each to the 2018 RHS Chatsworth Flower Show on Wednesday 6 June.
This is RHS Chatsworth Flower Show’s second year. Taking place once again in the picturesque grounds of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire’s Peak District, the show will feature a spectacular line-up of gardens, planting displays and floral exhibits, including the Brewin Dolphin garden designed, this year, by multi-award winning designer Paul Hervey-Brookes.
Inspired by an 18th-century village that once stood in the shadow of Chatsworth House before being moved to make way for ‘Capability’ Brown’s famous landscape, the Brewin Dolphin garden will feature a sculptural timber pavilion, echoing the lost houses of the village, surrounded by dense borders of colourful planting.
Plants native to the region that would have been used as medicines and food crops at the time the village existed, will combine with decorative varieties and two majestic copper beech trees to create a stunning display. Also featured will be eight specialist herbs grown exclusively for the show, by herb expert Jekka McVicar.
Paul Hervey-Brookes is one of the UK’s leading garden designers renowned for creating classically English landscapes and gardens. He has been creating show gardens for over ten years, winning Gold, Best in Show and Best Construction at RHS Chatsworth 2017. He has also won a series of awards at RHS Chelsea and RHS Hampton Court Palace.
RHS Chatsworth is the flagship event in Brewin Dolphin’s 2018 annual programme of gardening events. gardening.brewin.co.uk
