On Monday 1st July we celebrated the start of the RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival with a Gala Evening. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our 20th Anniversary – with delicious picnic bites, a sneak preview of the stunning show gardens, live music and fabulous fireworks to finish!
Joining us for the evening before the show opened, were Hannah Jackson (The Red Shepherdess) and Rachel (The Good Life Ain’t Easy), who took the opportunity to have a first look at the show gardens and our award-winning Boot Room. This year, our stand took visitors on a journey through our 20-year history – showcasing the best-loved boots from our past and present collections.
Following a successful launch, the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival was THE garden party of the summer. Guests enjoyed a wonderful day of garden inspiration, stunning floral displays and workshops in a majestic setting. The world-class show gardens inspired visitors to revitalise their own green spaces, with a series of talks covering the health and wellbeing aspects of gardening, and plenty of trade stands – including our Boot Room.
New for 2019 are the Global Impact Gardens, exploring innovative planting and design ideas and creating a platform for conversations; in addition, visitors were able to admire the RHS Back to Nature Garden, which the Duchess of Cambridge co-designed with Davies White landscape architects. The garden – influenced by Kate and William's childhood memories – aimed to capture the magic of the outdoors, as seen through a child’s eyes. This prestigious garden was located directly opposite our stand.
