Tregothnan with FORTNUM & MASON AT CHELSEA 2008

"Fortnum & Mason is delighted to announce that the Grande Dame of Piccadilly with Tregothnan, the quintessential private estate with land in Cornwall and Kent, will be present with a stunning stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2008.

One thousand years of cumulative history will greet garden-lovers at Chelsea this year when they visit the Fortnum & Mason and Tregothnan Stand, located at the front of the show.

Fortnum & Mason and Tregothnan will be showcasing the new range of outdoor furniture, accessories, and the finest infusions, hand-made and grown on the impressive Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall, and exclusive to 181 Piccadilly.

The Tregothnan Estate, founded in 1335, has been home to the same family for almost 700 years, making it the perfect partner for family-owned Fortnum & Mason, which is currently celebrating its 300th birthday.

Both companies have wonderful stories to tell, which are sure to act as inspiration for every visitor to the stand. Each has a quintessentially English touch, and unrivalled reputations for world-class products.

Chelsea visitors will be able to browse the brand new collection of much anticipated Tregothnan infusions, such as Manuka, an infusion to compliment Manuka honey, sometimes likened to Rooibos or Honeybush from South Africa. Fennel and Lemon Verbena infusions will also be on offer for adventurous tea-lovers.


As well as the sublime tea offering there will also be a beautiful gardening range available from the brand new Al Fresco department at 181 Piccadilly. Many items are exclusive to Fortnum & Mason, hand-made in England and of the most superb quality. Keen gardeners will be enthralled by the stylish cotton and suede waist aprons, gloves and garden kneelers; perfect for days spent outdoors beautifying grounds and flower beds. The exclusive eau de nil Hunter Wellingtons are also sure to draw a crowd; for those who believe in gardening-chic.

The Fortnum & Mason and Tregothnan stand is a must at Chelsea this year; guaranteed to pique the gardening passions of every visitor who steps over the threshold. "
