Time To Change - Floral Installation by fierceblooms
RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023 - Exhibit 37a
You are invited to our RHS Chelsea Flower show installation "Time to Change".
Rather than printing thousands of paper leaflets, we hope you approve of our sustainable approach.
This 'virtual leaflet' provides the traditional exhibit details, including the installation design and plants used. There's no paper handout just a modern sustainable alternative.
Spin the compass of our enchanted wild garden floral compass in our magical virtual leaflet. Every floral symbol has been chosen with a sustainable message for you.
A scroll down the page points you to other important sustainable changes the floral compass is telling you about today...
Design Description
fierceblooms - 'time for change' - Exhibit No 37aAn enchanted wild garden style floral compass points the way to a more sustainable floral future.
Inspired by the flowers grown and dried in the designers canalside cutting garden, the installation uses exclusively British grown seasonal flowers in purples, whites and blues, for sustainability and as a nod to the coronation.
Using innovative, reusable and biodegradable mechanics, string and straw are used to create a wreath and garlands that surround the floral compass.
The wren, the swan, the snail and their other wild garden friends invite you on your own sustainable floral journey.
