The high quality of South Lincolnshire growers has again been recognised at the annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Holbeach firm Walkers@Taylors Bulbs is a regular winner of gold medals in the Great Pavilion Awards – in fact this is its 21st consecutive top award.
Yet keeping up high standards is always a challenge and Johnny Walkers’ daffodils were again judged to be the best.

A company spokesman said: “Walkers@Taylors Bulbs are delighted to have been awarded their 21st consecutive gold medal at the RHS Chelsea flower show.
“The team are pleased that their hard work over the last few months has paid off culminating in a stunning display of over 70 varieties at the prestigious event in London.”

Meanwhile, a host of local growers’ produce helped the joint National Farmers’ Union and Waitrose stand to receive a silver-gilt flora award.
Moulton Bulb Co Ltd, Holbeach Bank-based DGM Growers and Spalding firm Butters Nurseries contributed produce for the stand.
And Waitrose suppliers Naylor Flowers, of Moulton Common, and Lambs Flowers, of Pinchbeck, supplied blooms.
