Brewin Dolphin
Monday, April 30, 2012
Brewin Dolphin has now raised over £35,000 for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research with your help.
We couldn’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate our 250th anniversary than with a very special Brewin Dolphin garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012. When it came to deciding who would design it, we knew it had to be six-time RHS Gold medal winner Cleve West.
Cleve won last year’s Best in Show at Chelsea with his garden for the Telegraph, and his new design is already a winner in our eyes. We have collaborated with Cleve to design a striking garden, which is both contemporary and traditional.

Yew topiary, which represents our history, stability and creativity, will provide the centrepiece of the garden. Topiary has been fashionable since the days of ancient Rome but is presented in our garden in a very modern context. This will be complemented by beech hedging, a mixture of shrubs, perennials and annuals and also reclaimed limestone, which will act as a grounding for the plants. This exciting venture marks a proud moment in our history.
Money raised from The Brewin Dolphin Charity Auction contributed towards life-saving research into blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
