Awarded for the best exhibit of a single genus of plant across any of the 2024 RHS flower shows.
We are honored and delighted to announce that Raymond Evison Clematis have been awarded The RHS Williams Memorial Medal and Mrs F E Rivis Prize for our 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibit. This is a tremendous award to be bestowed on our company and is a credit to all of our team who worked tirelessly to grow, build and exhibit our clematis display in the Great Pavilion. With such a high standard of exhibits across all of the RHS shows, to be selected as the best for a single genus, is just amazing.
Chris Ozanne, Director and Production Manager of The Guernsey Clematis Nursery, was awarded the Mrs F E Rivis Prize which is provided with a view to encouraging excellence in cultivation. This prize is awarded to the gardener or other employee responsible for the cultivation of the exhibit for which the Williams Memorial Medal is awarded.
Raymond Evison said, ‘It is a tremendous honour to be awarded The RHS Williams Memorial Medal again especially as all of our plants had been grown in peat free compost for our 2024 Chelsea Flower Show exhibit. It also coincided with our 40th anniversary year since establishing the nursery in Guernsey. I would also like to thank Fenchurch Advisory Partners for their long and continued sponsorship of our Chelsea Flower Show exhibits‘.
