i would like to see them enter the Singapore Garen Expo due in July next year. bit closer to home for most of us .

Xen, I too am puzzled. No mention of Nong Nooch winning anything in the Chelsea Flower Show's website! Did Nong Nooch really win anything?

I think you'll find that they won a gold medal. Not for one of the garden's but for a floral display. Same as last year that's why no mention at the moment on the Chelsea wed site.

You are probably right altho i did a search for that too and came up with nothing. It be good to see them win a prize for something even tho they do have dual pricing at the gate .
