Show success as 14 medal winners at RHS Malvern Spring Festival chose Rolawn

17/05/2018

While the weather at this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival was the crowning glory for the many beautiful show gardens, Rolawn’s topsoils and mulches provided the perfect foundation as the competition, along with the glorious weather, heated up.

News - Peter Dowle RHS Malvern Spring Festival

In total, Rolawn products were used in five of the six Gold medal winning gardens at the early-season show, all four Silver-Gilts, and all of the Silver and Bronze winners. A total of 13 medals, plus another for Bloms Bulbs, which won Gold in the Floral Marquee.

The show gardens drew praise from BBC presenters, industry specialists and the general public alike, commenting on their design, diversity and dynamism. Every one of the gardens chose to take advantage of Rolawn topsoils and mulches, which are renowned winners when it comes to gold medal show gardens. Rolawn’s Medallion® turf provided superb framing of the gardens for judging, with the younger and thinner product rooting more rapidly than ever, ready in time for the show’s opening. 

Rolawn Sales & Marketing Director, Jonathan Hill said: “We were delighted to be asked by Malvern’s organisers, the RHS and the Three Counties Agricultural Society, to support the show gardens. Working closely with many of the industries finest designers is an absolute pleasure. To witness first-hand the impact their creativity and build expertise has on visitors makes our involvement very worthwhile. An added bonus was to have numerous satisfied customers come onto our stand and share their gardening projects. With new lawns, raised beds, tree planting schemes, allotments, mulching, and of course, plenty of seasonal lawn advice discussed.”

Peter Dowle, owner of Howle Hill Nursery, awarded Gold and Best Construction for ‘The Spirit in the Woods’, commented, “I’m so pleased that Rolawn chose to support the RHS Malvern Spring Festival. It’s a show that is improving year on year and Rolawn’s involvement is further proof that it continues to attract more and more of the UK’s market leaders. The jumbo Medallion rolls are an absolute winner at shows…great quality, as always, and so quick to lay.”

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.
