    Winning design at Chelsea 2023

    A Harrogate florist has won gold at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London.

    Helen James Flowers was one of three gold medallists in the floristry and floral design awards category.

    The florist, which has a shop on Station Parade, was selected for its lamppost design ‘On the verge’, which was inspired by recent planting projects on areas of wasteland.

    It shows how mini wildlife havens can be created to counteract the impact of human life on the environment.

    The display contains hundreds of water filled test tubes attached to a hand made trellis, and the base materials were arranged on metal pin-holders — a process that took many hours.

    The result was a colourful and seasonal display incorporating flowers such as eremurus, dahlias and ranunculus.

    Helen James Flowers' shop is closed until May 30 due to the team being at Chelsea.
