Masa says: “It’s always been my dream to showcase at RHS Chelsea Flower Show since studying at Capel Manor college. RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a world-renowned event where designers and horticulturists can exchange ideas and learnings. The Show has visitors from all over the world with different aesthetic preferences, it’s a place to come together and celebrate the diversity we have as a horticultural industry. I have been in horticulture for many years, but only now do I feel I have gained enough experience and have a support network around me to achieve a worthy garden. I am hoping that this experience will take me to my new horticultural journey.”
