Awards presented to the OSGB


A huge thank you to the RHS for a splendid annual awards lunch in the beautifully decorated Lindley Hall on Thursday 26th February. The OSGB received two of the RHS Annual Awards for its Gold-medal display, which was sponsored by the Sultanate of Oman Ministry of Tourism, at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2014.
