Whitchurch Arts members have won a prestigious place at this July’s Hampton Court Palace International Flower Show.
Graham Burgess, the chair of Whitchurch Arts, will be creating a garden for the show along with Whitchurch Arts member Stephen Miller and other local artists Paul Harvey and Shelley Gibb.
The garden is one of several that depict the life of King Henry VIII, who ascended to the throne 500 years ago this year. Graham’s garden is all about Katherine of Arragon.

Stephen, one of the winners from our Christmas’ window decoration competition, has set up a company with Graham to create works of art – the first of which will be on public show at the garden.
Paul, a local sculpturist, will be creating symbolic birds.
Shelley is designing a wonderful pomegranate to hang in the Pomegranate Tree as a symbol of Arragon’s dynasty.
