Borough firm helps out on Chelsea garden
THE world’s most iconic horticultural event, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, is back in May for 2022, and the UK’s leading garden centre retailer, Dobbies, is set to mark its return with an inspirational stand that will showcase how to embrace your own green sanctuary as well as sustainable gardening solutions.
Stapleton-based Woodlands Wholesale is supporting the stand with flowering Pelargoniums. Woodlands Wholesale is a familyowned and run ornamental plant nursery based in the heart of Leicestershire. They specialise in growing and wholesaling bedding and pot plants to the largest garden centres in the country, including Dobbies. They combine over 100 years of experience with state-of-the-art production facilities to produce industry-leading quality plants.
Following its five-star award winning trade stand in 2021, Dobbies’ 2022 garden will highlight a broad spectrum of ideas for different spaces, reinforcing the team’s authority in plants and gardening. The stand will showcase how to make the most of your green space, blurring the lines between indoors and out, the importance of grow your own for both wellbeing and sustainability, and innovative ways to introduce plants into alternative areas of the home.
Jamie Downes from Woodlands, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Dobbies stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show with our hand-selected range of colourful Pelargoniums. We work extremely closely with the team of buyers at Dobbies to ensure the plants we supply exceed customers’ expectations.”
Marcus Eyles, Horticultural Director at Dobbies said: “Our RHS Chelsea Flower Show stand is all about
creating a green sanctuary, and the importance of embracing nature in a sustainable fashion. The plants from Woodlands Wholesale are integral to the approach.
“The garden has a variety of components that will not only showcase our team’s authority and expertise but aims to inspire people to create their own sanctuaries, with a plant-centric focus that both looks impressive and is good for the environment too. Thanks to the Woodlands Wholesale team for supporting our vision.”
Dobbies’ own brand peatfree compost, is shortlisted for the RHS Chelsea Sustainable Product of the Year.
