Chelsea Flowers in Stanford 2025
It’s all green and Gold for fynbos.
South Africa has clinched a coveted Gold award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the second year in a row thanks to the tremendous efforts of landscape designer Leon Kluger and artist Tristan Woutberg. While last year’s design paid tribute to the Cape Fold mountains which watch over the Cape Floristic Region, this year’s design was a celebration of the water that influences the flora of the Cape; from the two oceans which meet at the Southernmost tip of Africa to the iconic tea-coloured mountain streams which weave through the landscape.
Congratulations to Leon Kluge and Tristan Woutberg for their spectacular vision which ensured another Gold Award for South Africa, and to the entire build team for their tireless efforts to ensure this grand endeavour became a Gold-winning reality!
Congratulations and thank you to the sponsors who made the Flora of South Africa exhibit possible in London at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025: Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, Hazendal, Rupert Nature Foundation and Southern Sun.
In bloom, again
Grootbos Foundation and Grootbos Private Nature Reserve are delighted to announce that this display will be coming home to South Africa, to Stanford in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Leon Kluge, Tristan Woutberg and the four Grootbos Ambassadors who took part in the build in London will help recreate an exact replica of this display in September as part of the Stanford in Bloom spring festival. This is an opportunity for South Africans to revel in the splendour of fynbos through Leon’s magnificent floral display.
Chelsea Flowers in Stanford will take place between 10 - 24 September 2025.

Thank you
In 2024, 18'000 of you visited the Chelsea Flowers in Stanford to see Leon Kluge’s incredible floral display - a display which won Gold, Best in the Pavilion and Best New Design at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024. This design was now also been awarded the Lawrence Medal for the best floral display over the entire 2024 calendar year.
Not only did you support Leon Kluge and the incredible design and build team, but you also contributed to conservation and community upliftment in the Overberg - all profits from Chelsea Flowers in Stanford went to Grootbos Foundation.
On behalf on the biodiversity we have been able to protect and the communities we have been able to support, Grootbos Foundation would like to say thank you.
