The Chelsea Flower Show is coming to Stanford from 21 September to 6 October.
This floral exhibit won three of the most prestigious awards at the Chelsea Flower Show.
“The beautifully designed display of our nation’s stunning proteas achieved not only a Gold Medal but also the coveted Best in the Pavilion and the Best New Design awards,” one of the organisers said. “Leon Kluge designed the stand, and with the help of a hard-working team and private donations showcased the spectacular Cape fynbos in a unique layout, breathtaking for its creativity, array of flowers and heady fynbos scent which filled the Pavilion.”
Now, he is building the fynbos display again . . . this time, for South Africans.
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve (one of the sponsors of the South African display at Chelsea) and Kluge have decided to bring the glorious floral design home to South Africa, so everyone can experience the uniqueness of the display garden and the triple-award win from the most prestigious garden show in the world.
“Leon and his team will build an exact replica of the winning design, in full size as it was built in the Chelsea Pavilion for South Africans to visit on their home turf.”
Mayor Dr Annelie Rabie is patron of this home-grown exhibit called Chelsea Flowers in Stanford. “Thanks to the exuberance and long-term efforts of Grootbos to champion fynbos, the very best of the world-renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show is coming to Stanford! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Overstrand and is sure to be a resounding success.”
