We're delighted to announce that Hillier's have won their 70th consecutive Gold Medal at The Chelsea Flower Show in London.  Absolutely remarkable - and earns them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.   After 5 weeks of unpredictable weather, 4,000 plants, a 20 metre x 20 metre pitch in the heart of The Great Pavilion, The Hillier's team have achieved the seemingly unachievable.  Big Congratulations to @andymcindoe who we're privileged to have as our chief blogger and who runs four award winning online horticulture courses for us at MyGardenSchool available to students across all continents.
