Rentokil Tropical Plants, UK has added yet another award to its ever-growing collection, winning first prize in the Commercial Display category at the Westminster In Bloom competition.

The award was given for the plant specialist’s design, installation and maintenance of the balcony displays at The Wellington Hospital in London.

Rentokil Tropical Plants took over the contract to maintain The Wellington Hospital in the early part of 2004, so to be recognised for our hard work so soon is brilliant.”

“Our brief was to make the hospital as welcoming, visually stunning and attractive as possible for the visitors and patients. To do this we planted established evergreen shrubbery and then seasonal bedding, which is changed twice a year to maintain the continuity of colour. Our technician maintains the display by ensuring that the plants are in a good state of health and kept clean and tidy at all times.”

Alan Brownie, Manager of The Wellington Hospital added “Even after Rentokil Tropical Plants' first few visits a major improvement and impact was seen.”
