Silver Gilt at RHS Chelsea Flower Show

This years world famous Chelsea flower show has seen Rentokil Tropical Plants UK win one of the most prestigious awards in the horticultural industry, a Silver Gilt medal.

The eye catching design, situated in the Grand Pavilion comprises of over 150 plants from around the world, ranging from fiery ‘Forest Flame' (Fittonia verschaffeltii), used as a living top dressing, to towering 3 metre palms, all set in stunning black graphite-effect containers.

The centrepiece of the display is a very rare and stunning Rhopaloblaste singaporensis from the Malaysian peninsular.

Paul Sturgess, interior landscape designer and horticulturist for Rentokil Tropical Plants, said of the success: "It's a privilege and an honour to even be invited by the RHS to exhibit at the worlds largest and most important show. To win a Silver Gilt medal is phenomenal.

"As usual I have enjoyed the reaction from the public, who are amazed to learn that the plants I have on display are available for them to have in their office or home."

Ian Thompson, managing director, Rentokil Tropical Plants UK added: "Winning these prestigious awards further demonstrates to businesses that we are a market leader in providing spectacular indoor plant displays."
