SILVER GILT. That’s what Barbados’ vibrant tropical blooms and the three facades of Where We Live were awarded at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show in London yesterday.
Where We Live, the exhibit put on by the Barbados Horticultural Society, depicted three types of Barbadian dwellings – the chattel house, a plantation home and a luxurious seaside villa – each of which was fronted with greenery and flowers.
The medal adds to the society’s impressive haul of ten silver gilt, one silver and 18 gold medals. It has been participating at the show since 1984 and last year won a gold. (HLE)
