What do you get when you mix sunshine, blooms and a sprinkling of Bramley? A very special week at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Months before the gates open and the crowds arrive, our planning quietly begins. From sketching out the stand to planning the product displays, creating spreadsheets and plant lists, every detail is thoughtfully considered.
Our office gardening queen, Hephzi, sourced and nurtured the beautiful plants and florals for our stand, as well as putting together the now-iconic bathtub filled with many of the botanicals found in our products – from calming chamomile to invigorating wild mint. Her care and creativity brought it all to life, but it was a true team effort from start to finish, and one we’re incredibly proud of. This year, our hard work was recognised with a 4-star award from the judges for our trade stand.
We were also delighted to be crowned as finalists in the RHS Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Awards for our unique Hand Wash Compostable Refill Pouch. Following an online Dragons Den style presentation to Deborah Meaden and other judges a few weeks earlier, we were pleased to be shortlisted to the final three at the show. Here, Chloë had the chance to chat with Deborah and meet the other finalists, and it was an honour to get that far!
But more than awards or accolades, what we’ll remember most are the conversations. It was a genuine joy to meet so many of you, both loyal customers and curious new faces alike, and hear how Bramley has become part of your everyday rituals.
There were a few unexpected highlights too. Spotting our Digby Dog Wash nestled in the shed in Monty Don’s Radio 2 Dog garden (a firm favourite of Ned, his four-legged friend!), and a visit from some familiar celebrity faces who popped by to say hello.
To help bring a little Chelsea magic home, we gifted packets of wildflower seeds to customers, a small way to inspire some botanical beauty in your own garden.
And to celebrate our second year at the show, we’ve partnered with fellow exhibitor Elizabeth Scarlett to offer a special garden-inspired giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a trio of her embroidered accessories in the new English Garden Design, along with a Bramley Greenhouse Gift Set filled with Bramley bath and body favourites.
This competition is now closed.
