For more than 10 years, Director Tom developed and built award-winning displays at Tatton for greenhouse manufacturer, Hartley Botanic. 

Elegant white greenhouses surrounded by lush planting and summer flowers.

Designed to showcase the quality of their British-made structures, the annual displays needed to blend creativity with the practicalities needed for a high-footfall show site. 

White-framed greenhouses surrounded by soft planting under a blue sky.

We propagated plants and vegetables to show different growth stages and installed creative and memorable points of interest like ferns growing through a grid and a dish of water lilies.

A display on a busy summer site always needs careful planning. From installing tall hedges to create an immersive space to ensuring the plants could endure scorching temperatures, or a washout week, the displays consistently took on the challenges and won.
