Chelsea Flower Show: Yorkshire garden voted best of decade
Jun 1, 2020
A garden inspired by the Yorkshire Dales has won the Garden of the Decade award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The cottage garden featuring dry stone walls, a bothy and a flower meadow originally took a gold award at the London show in 2018.
It has now been voted by the public as the best garden featured at Chelsea over the past 10 years.
The garden's designer, Yorkshireman Mark Gregory, said winning the accolade "means the world".
"Chelsea is always a team effort and this award is for everyone involved," he said.
"I'm so proud to have been a part of it and I hope this garden and the 2019 Welcome to Yorkshire garden will inspire people to visit the home county of which I'm so proud."

Ten gardens were shortlisted for the public to vote for their favourite and three of the gardens were sponsored by the tourism body Welcome to Yorkshire.
Previous Yorkshire gardens on the list included another designed by Mark Gregory in 2019 which featured a canal, and one from 2016 by Matthew Wilson which was based on the stained glass East Window at York Minster.
This year's Chelsea Flower Show was a virtual exhibition after the event was cancelled for the first time since World War Two due to the coronavirus lockdown.
