A FOREST garden centre has wowed judges at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show and earned themselves its 10th gold medal.

A Perfumer's Garden in Grasse was designed by James Basson – who resides in the South of France – but constructed and planted by the team at Howle Hill nursery, near Ross.

Managing director, Peter Dowle said: "A Chelsea gold medal is the pinnacle of our industry - and to seal a tenth is remarkable, a dream come true.

"It has been a testing period logistically, with teams at the Malvern Show (where the trade stand was awarded a gold medal) and here at Chelsea at the same time, but credit to everyone involved as we have pulled off something special once again."

Howle Hill Nursery is open Monday-Saturday, with the design office also located on site.
