HARTLEY BOTANIC’S RHS CHELSEA TRADE STAND WINS FIVE STAR AWARD
Hartley Botanic scoops an award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with a stand created to inspire the importance of beautiful spaces to individual wellbeing.
Flower Show since at least 1950 and, this year showed its handmade greenhouses and glasshouses in a new light – demonstrating just some of the great range of uses of its al fresco, light-filled structures that it can offer our gardens and our personal sense of wellbeing. Following last year’s success,

Celebrating its 80th anniversary, Hartley Botanic is one of Britain’s oldest greenhouse manufacturers and was, to its knowledge, the first to develop and make entirely aluminium structures, representing a new class of greenhouse building in terms of practicality and engineering design. The company said Vincent and Norman Hartley’s drive and ambition to create the finest greenhouses money can buy is still central to the company’s ethos which specialises in handmade, made- to-order horticultural buildings which are made to truly stand the test of time.
Mr Barry described the thinking behind the structures at this year’s show which was aimed at the
greater need to improve wellbeing, a trend that has proved consistent with consumers in recent years: “Our approach this year was quite different, it featured two brand new structures specially previewed at RHS Chelsea 2019 and our greenhouses and glasshouses as both wonderful spaces for horticulture and for wider activities which contribute to our wellbeing.” The tradestand was designed by
Valentina Wyatt of Valentina Wyatt Garden Design, landscaped by RHS Chelsea veterans Stewart Landscape Construction and beautifully dressed with furniture and accessories from carefully curated suppliers including Graham and Green, Stoake and unique artisan craftspeople including potter Birdi Richardson. “We hope our tradestand really

inspires people to think differently and more widely about how they can make use of a Greenhouse and their garden,” Mr Barry concluded.
