RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park 2005


Exhibitors

detail from Wyre Borough Council: SeaBritainThe RHS National Flower Bed Competition

Official Plant Supplier: Ball Colegrave Ltd

This is a unique event associated with the RHS Britain in Bloom campaign, showcasing the talents of local authorities and communities from all over the UK.

Opportunities abound for local authorities and communities to put themselves on the map by using their skills and experience to stage a flower bed reflecting their own identity. All competitors work with a 6m by 4m bed using a wide range of plant material supplied from the Ball Colegrave commercial catalogue. Many of these varieties are available to the public from local plant retailers, garden centres, etc. Ball Colegrave staff will be available throughout the show to answer your questions on any of the varieties used in the competition.

The flower beds are judged for RHS medals, reflecting the high standard of horticulture demonstrated by this competition. Full details will appear here once we have them.

We are again very grateful to Ball Colegrave Ltd who are the official plant supplier for this competition. Ball Colegrave are world leaders in breeding new varieties from both seed and cuttings and are dedicated to beautifying the world. This dedication inspires their enthusiasm and support for the Flower Bed Competition, now in its fifth year. The company has a consumer side - KinderGarden Plants - which supplies home gardeners.
