Silver Gilt @ Chelsea 2013
In celebration of 100 years of topiary being exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2013, Topiary Arts re-create a 1913 display by the appropriately named Herbert Cutbush, as taken from the 1913 Chelsea Flower Show souvenir brochure, using as many of the original materials and techniques that are available today.
The picture of the 1913 exhibit shows an arrangement of topiary set down on grass in oak barrels, with balls in the foreground and birds and sculptural shapes behind. This lead into Topiary Arts more innovative style of exhibiting sculptural topiary, with contrast in shape and form, enhanced with herbaceous under planting.
For the third time in a row James Crebbin-Bailey gained an award wining a Silver Gilt medal for his topiary display.
Not only did James win a medal he also created a little ceramic painted master piece that raised £385 for RHS training young gardeners charity.
