The 2025 RHS Chelsea Show was a pretty big one for Tom's Yard this year with garden designers, lifestyle brands and nurseries all wanting to feature our terracotta pots in their gardens and displays - What a dream!!
We want to share this Chelsea journey with you, so here is a quick pot spot showing us that there truly is a pot for every spot!
Maximillian Parker-Smith's RHS x UBS: "Moments of Reflection" in the Grand Pavilion
Where do we start with this installation? As always Maximillian continues to showcase design and ecological harmony in stunning beauty, replacing traditional materials with those that lend themself and give back to the Earth. The use of the terracotta pots defines the beauty and versatility of clay and what can be achieved with natural materials.
ODD Limited's 100 Year Debut Exhibit with Sean Pritchard
What Sean has created within the pots is nothing short of magnificent. The lush green foliage with a palette of pink shades dispersed throughout. Foxgloves standing tall alongside astrantia and dainty tiarella - Oh and that pop of yellow aguilega - Nice! The best thing is this plant list lends itself perfectly to a shady spot and offers such a complexity of levels and textures to bring interest to you seating areas. I think we'll all agree as well that an ODD Swing Seat is top of everyones must-have lists.
Their first time ever at Chelsea and Frank P Matthews took on a huge challenge of presenting over 35 varieties of Malus tree simultaneously in bloom. Never before done in the history of RHS Chelsea and just absolutely stunning! Many varieties of Malus live happily in terracotta pots which can be seen from this display, showcasing gorgeous dwarf varieties in 50 of our pots! Biggest Tom's Yard pot collection outside of Herefordshire. Malus are such a fantastic 'value-for-money' item to plant in pots as we want to get the most from our pots all year round and Malus certainly delivers through all the seasons!
