11 June - Arts, Culture & Environment - SA wins Silver Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show

In today’s show, we were joined by David Davidson – Garden Designer. David his team won a Silver Medal for South Africa at Chelsea Flower Show in London. Through the SA Chelsea entry entitled ‘Bio[logical] diversity is the variety of life’ the designers illustrated the diversity as well as the genetic variability of the botanical wealth that makes South Africa the third most biologically diverse country in the world. He told us more about the inspiration behind his designs. This 2010 award winning exhibit will be recreated back on home ground later in the year in Port Elizabeth, Gauteng, Durban and Cape Town giving us the opportunity to celebrate another medal winner.
