Home is where the heart is for Rolawn as the Yorkshire Dales relocate to Chelsea

Rolawn, the UK’s premium turf and topsoil supplier is working with Welcome to Yorkshire, the region’s tourism destination specialist, to provide 60 square metres of Medallion® Turf for its 2018 RHS Chelsea show garden. Medallion® was chosen for its ability to establish quickly and provide a high quality and wear resistant carpet of home-grown turf to complement the truly Yorkshire scene.

The show garden, designed by Yorkshire-born garden architect and designer Mark Gregory, celebrating his 30th consecutive year at Chelsea, has a truly regional flavour, with Mark taking the stunning Yorkshire Dales as the inspiration behind his concept.

Rolawn Managing Director, Paul Dawson said: “Medallion® is Yorkshire ‘sown and grown’ and Mark’s garden for Welcome to Yorkshire will bring an authentic slice of the region to the world’s most famous flower and garden show. We are delighted to support Welcome to Yorkshire by supplying Britain’s finest turf to its display and proud that it comes from Yorkshire from a company which has been based in the county for more than 40 years.”

Rolawn’s award winning Medallion® turf is grown and cultivated in Yorkshire and will provide the foundation of the garden which will showcase the very best of ‘God’s Own Country’. Designed to be a visual feast, the garden will aim to stimulate the senses with the smells and tastes of the famous national park. Mark Gregory’s vision also reveals woodland, lush pastures, varied plants and flowers, a cultivated cottage garden and a tumbling beck with dramatic fast flowing water. Pride of place in the garden will go to a stone bothy – converted into a craftsman’s creamery where genuine artisan cheese production will take place.

Garden designer Mark Gregory said: “Marking 30 years at the greatest flower show on earth is a significant moment for me and what better way to celebrate than with a return to designing a garden inspired by the place that shaped me as a person? And with the Yorkshire theme running through it, what better turf to include than Rolawn’s home-grown Medallion?!”

Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire said: “We’re delighted to be back at the prestigious Chelsea flower show for the ninth year running, bringing a garden inspired by the stunning Yorkshire Dales to the heart of London for the whole world to see.”

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.
