Homebase, B&Q and Bord na Móna have all been awarded medals for their gardens at this week's Chelsea Flower Show.
Judges at the event, which is celebrating its centenary this year, presented Homebase's Sowing the Seeds of Change garden, in association with the Alzheimer's Society, with Gold. And the same accolade went to Un Garreg, the Bord na Móna garden featuring its Vital Earth peat-free compost brand.

The Homebase garden, designed by Adam Frost, is an ornamental kitchen garden which brings together a planting mix of both floral and edible plants and shows how both can both marry well together. It provides an environment where families can enjoy a connection with nature and food for both themselves and wildlife, and an area in which they can spend time together.

To celebrate the garden, Homebase has introduced a wide range of plants, seeds, garden ornaments and products which are featured in or inspired by it.

Matthew Compton, trading director for garden and seasonal at the retailer, said Homebase was "delighted that this wonderful garden and our hardworking team have been rewarded with a Gold medal. We're hugely grateful to Adam for creating the garden with us and we hope Adam's vision and creativity will inspire even the most novice of gardeners to grow some Chelsea magic in their own gardens."

Bord na Móna's Un Garreg win was a triumph for young designers Harry and David Rich, competing at the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time. The garden combines a dominating rock theme with a canopy of trees and peat-free planting, providing shade over a walkway of cobbles, gravel and slabs. Traditional dry stone walling provides a boundary and a backdrop, with two protruding rocks framing a natural oak seating area. Vital Earth brand created a new Chelsea Mix of peat-free compost especially for the garden.

Commenting on the win, John Corcoran, Bord na Móna's head of retail, said: "This is tremendous news for everyone. The Un Garreg design is all about natural materials melded together to provide strength, character and perfect relaxation in tune with nature. Vital Earth's peat-free recycled products are an ideal partner in terms of materials."

Meanwhile, B&Q was awarded Silver-Gilt for its Sentebale Forget-Me-Not garden.
