Reminiscing on Lindum’s Chelsea Flower Show stand debut

As WowGrass is a product in the collection of the Lindum Seeded Turf Ltd vast and specialist product offering, it’s only natural to support and share in their successes.

May in particular was full of excitement for the team, here at Lindum HQ as we embarked on our first stand exhibiting at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Alongside hitting a record number of clients that we supply our products to.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a show platform like no other, held in the ground of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, home to the iconic Chelsea Pensioners. Garden designers spend all year planning, prepping and selecting the finest materials for their show gardens with impressive attention to detail. Right down to the Cow Pat (Supplier by Lindum) strategically placed on the “Welcome to Yorkshire Garden” 2018.

Roger Moore our Contracts Manager and the rest of our team made their way down to Chelsea to welcome the stand materials onto site and get stuck into the build-up phase. From little drawings the trade stand started to come to life.

The interest we received in Lindum Wildflower turf & Lindum Sedum Mat was something we never really expected. The amount of people that popped onto our stand to enquire about our products was outstanding and the many passers-by that congratulated us on our beautiful stand really did mean so much to us.

Our favourite visitors to the stand were by far the bees. This year we started our Save the Bees campaign and Chelsea was our main target to spread the word. We wanted to reiterate how important bees are to our everyday life and how Lindum Wildflower turf can create a haven for all types of bees and the impact you can create in a small space! Something that also aligns with the WowGrass ethos of been a “Green Supplier” to the Events industry.

With it been our Chelsea debut, we were very proud to have received a 4 star award for our trade stand design and construction. The feedback from the assessors was brilliant and made all the sleepless nights worthwhile.

The show week was totally out of this world and we couldn’t have asked for anything better, the sun was shining, the bees were buzzing and the general atmosphere as always was truly fantastic.
