Rolawn supports RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022 gold medal winners

Rolawn, the UK’s leading turf grower and supplier of consistent, premium-quality, responsibly sourced topsoils, is honoured to have supported six of the gold medal award winners at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Rolawn has a proud history of being selected to supply its premium products to leading designers for RHS shows, having supported over 200 Chelsea gardens and exhibits in the last ten years.

Ken Brewster, Marketing Director for Rolawn, said: “Designers trust our products because they’ve learnt through experience that it ensures their gardens and planting schemes will meet gold medal standards – at the point of judging and onwards through the duration of the show.

“We understand the pressures and time-constraints involved in coordinating a show garden so always go the extra mile to ensure that products are delivered when promised and in prime condition.”

Renowned garden designer and plantsman, Chris Beardshaw, once again won gold for the RNLI garden, all planted in Rolawn Blended Loam, topped with Rolawn ProMulch® and framed with Medallion® turf.

Chris Beardshaw, said: “There is no doubt in my mind that plants are the mainstay of great gardens, and the importance of healthy and vibrant plants within any scheme is paramount. Along with good horticultural husbandry the foundation required to achieve premium planting schemes is great topsoil. This both encourages thriving plants and develops a healthy root environment, allowing plants to cope with seasonal challenges.

“Throughout our private clients gardens and in our 14 RHS Gold Medal winning gardens Rolawn Topsoil has always performed to the very highest levels, and in the latter the plants are well rooted after just 10 days in the soil.”

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.
