Stone at Chelsea Flower Show
, By Eric Bignell

For the first time, the RHS awarded a prize for the best constructed garden. It was won by Swatton Landscape for Cleve West's M&G Garden pictured here. Stonemason and dry stone waller Max Knowle, who often works with Sharon and Steven Swatton, played his part in the construction of the hard landscaping, which is substantially Forest of Dean sandstone.

There was a lot of stone in the show gardens at Chelsea Flower Show this year, as NSS discovered when it went along to the preview day on the preview Monday of the Show (20 May). Here is a short video of some of what could be seen at the Show.

There will be more information about the stone at Chelsea in the June issue of Natural Stone Specialist.
