Hazendal Celebrates Leon Kluge’s Historic Gold and Lawrence Medal Win for South Africa at Chelsea Flower Show
01 July 2025
Hazendal Wine Estate is delighted to congratulate Leon Kluge and his team for the South African Gold Medal at London’s Chelsea Flower Show last month.
Designer Leon Kluge and artist-gardener Tristan Woudberg led a team of passionate volunteers who painstakingly prepared and arranged up to 25000 stems of fynbos.
This year's display was inspired by South Africa's two mighty oceans, the Indian and Atlantic, which have given rise to a multitude of habitats from the fynbos of the Cape to the more subtropical greenery of KwaZulu-Natal.
Royal Horticultural Society President Keith Weed CBE also presented Leon and his team the Lawrence Medal which is awarded to the best floral exhibit over all the RHS shows throughout the calendar year – becoming the first award for South Africa.
Hazendal Wine Estate was honoured to join the Rupert Nature Foundation, Grootbos Foundation and the Southern Sun as sponsors of Leon Kluge’s “Flora of South Africa” at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show.
