Growing reputation - Coventry businesses scoop awards at 2021 BBC Gardeners' World

Coventry Editorial 5th Sep, 2021   0

TWO Coventry business owners are enjoying their growing success after scooping three awards at the 2021 BBC Gardeners’ World at the NEC.

Neil and Cath Kenney of Larchfield Trees and David Cheshire of David Cheshire Nurseries Ltd were presented with a Platinum Award and the prestigious Geoff Hamilton Best in Show award for their outstanding display.

David Cheshire also won Plant of the Year award for his Taxus cuspidate Niwaki. The awards were presented by David Hurrion, Associate Editor for BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine.

Neil Kenney, of Larchfield Trees, said: “We’ve waited 25 years for this award after being pipped to the post at previous shows.




“We are absolutely delighted all our hard work and achievements have been recognised.”

He added after this show and Chelsea they were retiring so were very pleased to finish on such a high.


“We spotted Dave’s Niwaki at his nursery in Baginton, Coventry, and we knew it would open up our display – it really has made all the difference.

“Dave has helped us with three shows and at his third he’s picked up an award – we waited 25 years.”

Since the pandemic, David has started working closely with Neil and Cath Kenney and now stocks Japanese Maples from Larchfield Trees at his nursery in Russells Garden Centre, Baginton, making the beautiful trees more accessible to the public.

Neil and Cath have agreed for him to continue exhibiting at shows under the Larchfield Trees name.
