Birmingham City Council and the Royal British Legion’s display at the Chelsea Flower Show has been awarded a gold medal.
Created in partnership with gardeners from charity Thrive, the design uses flowers and sustainable materials to recreate a WWI trench.
Documenting a battle from the trenches to aerial combat, the garden also features floral representations of goods made in Birmingham to help the war effort.
Darren Share, head of parks for Birmingham City Council, said: ‘The team behind Birmingham’s beautiful display has worked incredibly hard to bring home a Gold from Chelsea.’
The Royal British Legion’s area manager in the West Midlands, Jane Britton, added: ‘As the nation’s custodian of Remembrance, the Legion has a special role to play in this year’s Centenary commemorations.
‘Our Chelsea Flower Show display, in collaboration with Birmingham City Council, is a moving tribute to the men of Birmingham that gave their lives in the Service of our country – and serves as a poignant reminder of the work our brave Servicemen and women do today.’
