Two Guernsey based companies have won gold awards at the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Guernsey Clematis won its 36th gold medal while the Blue Diamond Group won its sixth award, and second gold medal.
Guernsey Clematis – fronted by Raymond Evison CBE – released three new varieties of clematis at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Following that launched, the firm’s latest gold medal was confirmed.
The Blue Diamond Group – which is headquartered in Guernsey – has won a gold medal for two years running for its Great Pavilion display, after previously winning other awards including silver-gilt medals, a children’s choice and people’s choice awards.
A spokesperson for the company told Express they were “delighted” and it is “wonderful news”.
Charities linked with Guernsey have also been represented at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week.
Grow Limited has been working with Burncoose and Grow on its gold medal winning display.
The charity offered “a huge thank you to Charles Williams of Burncoose, and Guy and Julia Hands, for making this unforgettable experience possible for our team”.
Grow crew members worked on a Great Pavilion display which included bespoke bug hotels made in Guernsey.
The Guernsey Queen’s Nurses have also been at the iconic flower show this week.
They were asked to represent all Queen’s Nurses at the launch of Clematis Queen’s Nurse, produced by Raymond Evison and Guernsey Clematis.
Queen’s Nurse Patricia McDermott presented a Queen’s Nurse clematis to Her Majesty, Queen Camilla, who is the patron of the Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing.
Guernsey’s Lieutenant Governor and Lady Cripwell have been among the visitors to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show so far.
