South Africa stole the
show at this year’s RHS
Chelsea Flower Show
winning a gold medal with
perfect scores from the
RHS judges, as well as
awards for Best Exhibit in
the Pavilion and Best New
Design. It is the country’s
38th gold medal, and
Leon Kluge’s third gold
medal, having won the top
prize for South Africa in
2018 and 2019.
AT THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
the team comprised Keith Kirsten,
conservationist Michael Lutzeyer,
and Marinda Nel.
Cape Flora SA, an NPO established
in 2005, offered its support this
year, and remains committed to
the sustainable harvesting and
growth of the fynbos industry. The
exhibit promoted the demand for
high quality fynbos cut flowers in
international markets, providing
livelihoods for stakeholders and
communities within the South
African fynbos industry.
