Designers Val Micklewright and Sam Hurley are incredibly proud to have won a Gold medal for their first Chelsea exhibit and are grateful to all the OSGB members who contributed to the display which continues to uphold the society's high standards.

The display is created by a large group of volunteer orchid enthusiasts who wish to promote and share their passion for these beautiful plants.  The addition this year of an educational element in the form of information panels along the front of the exhibit was highly commended by RHS judges and of great interest to the thousands of Chelsea visitors.
