Milton Keynes company takes Gold Award at Chelsea Flower Show

The accolade was presented yesterday at the opening of the most famous gardening event in the world, which was attended by members of the royal family, including the Queen.

The ‘Garden Bed’ consists of a real hospital bed forming the centrepiece, visitors are invited to view the hospice garden through the eyes of the patient. A stunning natural ‘quilt’ lies across the bed, woven with foliage and flowers by Alison.

A clipped yew hedge gives privacy and a sense of security. Bulbs, perennials and trees offer the viewer much to enjoy and contemplate, while a ceramic water feature mirrors the floral displays.

The theme of The Garden Bed is based on the emotive subject of loved ones needing hospice care.

Ken White, Managing Director at Frosts Landscapes said: “We are absolutely delighted to have achieved this award and extremely pleased for Alison and Stephen. The finished garden looks stunning. The emotive theme coupled with the stunning displays and fragrances creates a real masterpiece for visitors to enjoy and empathise with.”
