BRIDGEMERE SHOW GARDENS DAHLIA COLLECTION
In summer, the bedding at Bridgemere Show Gardens is planted with 1000's of colourful dahlias. Bridgemere is known for its display.
If you want a summer garden with spectacular colour, just like Bridgemere Show Gardens, our NEW Bridgemere Dahlia Collection, inspired by the gardens, is now available from all Blue Diamond Garden Centres or order online.
"Dahlias are a favourite at Bridgemere, they are easy to grow and come in an amazing range of colours, with a vast choice of flower size, from pompoms to dinner plates! Bold, bright and beautiful; dahilas light up the garden from later summer into autumn."
Bernard Porter - Head Gardener, Bridgemere Show Gardens
THE COTTAGE GARDEN DAHLIA COLLECTION
Designed by John Ravencroft, the founder and owner of Bridgemere, in conjunction with the Women's Institute as a show garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 1988, the Cottage Garden is quinessentially English, with its chocolate box cottage and picket fence, brimming with traditional country favourites, including Dahlias.
Planting is based around pastel colours to enhance the cottage garden theme, which is why the specially selected collection of dahlias are perfect planting partners. The soft lavendar hues of 'Dahlia Pink Perception' to the gentle pinks of Dahlia 'Diana's Memory' complement the other plants and style of the garden.
The garden was a truimph - winning a gold medal, the Winkinson Sword Award for 'Best Garden in Show' and the Lawrence Medal for the 'Best Exhibit in any RHS Show'!
