And That’s a Wrap!

Michael and Leon turned vision into reality! By rebuilding Leon Kluge’s Cape Flora design from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show back on fynbos soil in Stanford, they brought the glitz and glamour of Chelsea home for South Africans.

A huge thank you to Leon Kluge, Tristan Woudberg and Michael Lutzeyer, and to every visitor who came to see the exhibit and helped prove that fynbos is truly a showstopper in its own right!

Of course, it took many special people and plenty of hard work to turn a building into a flourishing flower installation. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, effort and smiles.

Image 2 celebrates this teamwork and dedication.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the people of Stanford, who welcomed more than 19,000 visitors over the last two weeks, and to the Stanford in Bloom organisers, who made sure the entire town shone its brightest.

And That’s a Wrap!
