Rolawn Turf Selected by Double Award Winning Young Garden Designers at RHS Malvern Spring Festival

14/05/2014

Rolawn’s Medallion and Minster Pro turf has been used by students from Shropshire-based Otherwise Engaged on their garden at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, for which they were awarded a Highly Commended certificate by The Royal Horticultural Society.

The School Gardens Challenge at Malvern Spring Festival aims to inspire school pupils of all ages. This year, the next generation of horticulturalists and garden designers were tasked with producing a garden that represented a ‘Great Moment in History’.

Otherwise Engaged students from Years 11 and 13, designed and built their Digital Growth garden to celebrate the digital revolution. Flowerbeds were used to depict the advances in digital resolution, copper pipes and fused glass illustrated a mini processor, and a sculpture represented the growth of computer technology. Both Medallion and Minster Pro turf from Rolawn were incorporated into the garden producing a two tone effect to easily define the ‘circuit paths’.

The successful students were presented with a ‘Highly Commended’ award by Blue Peter gardener Chis Collins, on behalf of The Royal Horticultural Society, and they were also presented with a Certificate of Excellence for project management and health and safety by Phil Eves from BAM Construct, who sponsored the School Gardens Challenge.

Andrea Edwards, Otherwise Engaged’s Voluntary Project Co-ordinator, said, “This was a great result and testament to the team’s hard work, particularly as weather conditions have been decidedly challenging. We’d like to thank everyone involved at the showground, and all our sponsors and supporters, for making this achievement possible”.

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.
