From The Back Garden to Gold Medals with Rosy Hardy
Join one of the UK’s most celebrated plantswomen, RHS Vice-President Rosy Hardy, for entertaining talk tracing her remarkable horticultural journey. In From The Back Garden to Gold Medals, Rosy shares how a modest beginning—selling plants from her back garden—blossomed into the creation of Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants, now one of Britain’s leading specialist nurseries.
This engaging session offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world horticulture, from nurturing perennials to preparing award-winning displays for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. With an astonishing 24 RHS Chelsea Gold Medals to her name, Rosy will reveal the challenges, triumphs and teamwork behind every show garden, as well as the passion and precision it takes to succeed on such a prestigious stage.
This down-to-earth talk is filled with expert tips, planting advice and practical insights to help you make the most of your own garden—whatever its size. From choosing the right plants for your conditions to achieving long-lasting colour and structure, Rosy’s advice is rooted in years of hands-on experience and a deep passion for perennials.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your garden to the next level, this is a chance to learn from one of the most knowledgeable and approachable voices in UK gardening. Expect inspiration, guidance—and a few laughs along the way!
