Press day started with a bang, as close friends Adam Floating Home and Foraged by Fern were on the stand, cooking up a delicious meal on the new plancha barbecue by our brother company, Kadai. The dish consisted of whole smoked sea bass, buttered leeks, charred courgette, and aubergine, all complemented by a zingy salsa verde.

The Gala evening was a highlight, with our team enjoying champagne and hors d’oeuvres amidst the stunning gardens. Despite the weather turning on the second and third days, our spirits remained high. The relentless rain left us a little soggy, but we all pulled together to empty our gazebo sail every time a puddle of water built up.

As the show progressed, the sun returned, casting a familiar glow on the Chelsea Royal Hospital. We all were delighted to meet the graceful Joana Lumley and spot a few other famous faces who drifted onto our stand. Despite the weather challenges, the experience was fantastic, filled with memorable moments and interactions.

As we reflect on RHS Chelsea 2024, we’ve realized that a little more rain cover wouldn’t hurt – but we cannot wait to return next year with a new stand design.
