Hartley Botanic’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 Tradestand

‘Your Space, Your Story’

The RHS 2025 theme, ‘Your Space, Your Story,’ was reflected in the design by Sophie Hermes, which focused on a personal floristry space, cutting garden, and the nurturing of English-grown. Filled with English-grown flowers and foliage, the stand celebrated both the craftsmanship of our matchless Glasshouses and the beauty of home-grown blooms. Demonstrating how Hartley Botanic’s structurally superior and astonishingly beautiful Greenhouses provide the ideal environment for growing, nurturing, and showcasing the best of English produce, reinforcing the significance of English craftsmanship and the benefits of growing locally.

A 5 Star Award-Winning Tradestand

RHS 5 Star Tradestand Award

We were delighted again to receive a prestigious 5 Star Tradestand Award by The RHS. This Award is the highest compliment that the RHS can give and is a testament to all the dedication, effort and hard work that went into creating the beautiful stand.

NEW for 2025

Hartley Botanic launched several NEW Glasshouses and other products at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025 – The NEW Victorian Wellington Glasshouse, NEW Grand Patio Glasshouse, and NEW Freestanding Coldframes – showcased alongside all-time favourites the Victorian Villa and the Wisley 8 Grow & Store.

NEW Low Carbon Glass

Proud of our heritage, passionate about the future, our innovative NEW Low Carbon Glass (manufactured with 42% lower CO2 emissions*) significantly reduces your carbon footprint, while maintaining the exceptional clarity and quality that has defined our gorgeous Greenhouses for generations. For the environmentally conscious gardener who refuses to sacrifice quality, Hartley Botanic delivers the perfect balance – timeless craftsmanship with forward-thinking environmental responsibility. The greenest of Greenhouses for the greenest of gardeners.

*Technical detailsTraditional glass is predominantly manufactured by melting the main ingredient (sand) at 1700°C… Melting at this temperature requires a considerable amount of energy, which in turn creates a lot of CO2 emissions. Low Carbon Glass however utilises glass cullet gathered from post consumers, (generally old windows) and then reused in the manufacturing process. Recycled cullet melts at significantly lower temperatures (650-700°C) which in turn results in reducing the CO2 content by c.42%.
