Gold! by nicolaeastwood

Gold!

We won Gold at the Chelsea Flower Show!

The First Touch Garden in the Fresh Garden category.

Designed by Patrick Collins with a zero budget, the whole garden has been donated, given or loaned to us by kind sponsors, built and manned by volunteers.

First Touch is the Charity that supports the Neonatal Unit at St Georges Hospital in Tooting where Little Dottie was so brilliantly treated. Patrick and Sarah's daughter was there too.

This is Patrick's fourth Gold medal, and we think (not that we are biased!) this is his best yet.

There were squeals, screams, tears and a little bit of dancing at 8am this morning when we opened the envelope! We are all so proud.
Wow that is brilliant thank you for sharing you must be very proud and that's one to treasure for sure
