Rolawn embark on 2016 garden show programme

After the success of 2015, Rolawn are very excited to announce a more extensive show programme in 2016. Top of the list is sponsorship of a conceptual show garden at RHS Hampton Court in July. Entitled ‘Why?’, designed and built by Tony Smith of Hortus Infinitus, the garden attempts to challenge our thoughts on the biggest question of all, WHY?, What is life all about.

Uncategorised - Hampton Court Garden why

The show season has begun with products on two gardens at RHS Flower Show Cardiff, winning gold with the Alfresco Gallery Garden and Silver gilt with Hortus Infinitus Pure Imagination. For The North of England Horticultural Society Rolawn designed and built a feature at Harrogate Spring Flower Show to help celebrate Botanica and the 300th anniversary of Capability Brown’s birth.

Next up RHS Flower Show Malvern with ‘Reflections of Japan’ with Peter Dowle and Bloms Bulbs with their floral display of magnificent tulips set on a backdrop of Medallion turf. At RHS Flower Show Chelsea Rolawn is supporting Chris Beardshaw, Ann-Marie Powell, Sarah Eberle, Peter Dowle and Hilliers along with a number of notable landscapers, nurseries, specialist growers and exhibitors. Rolawn products have also been selected by designers Wardrop and Stephenson for their Gardener’s World Live garden, which was a competition winner in this year’s GWL and Association of Professional Landscaper’s joint challenge for small garden designs.

Rolawn Sales and Marketing Director Jonathan Hill states ‘It is going to be a busy and fantastic year, supporting and helping leading lights within the horticulture industry, not to mention sponsorship of an actual show garden that will hopefully challenge and engage all who visit the Hampton Court flower show this year’.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
