Hunter Wellingtons: RHS Chelsea Flower Show 25-29 May 2010

Dig out those Hunter Wellingtons for this years RHS Chelsea Flower show from the 25th-29th May and make sure you see the following gardens!

The L'Occitane Garden uses the landscape of Provence as their inspiration with garden key plant species that can only be found in the South of France and Mediterranean.  This garden was designed by James Towillis and built by Peter Dowle Plants & Gardens.

Keeping to the French theme we love the Fashion & Flowers with Christian before Dior.  This garden celebrates the life of Christian Dior's childhood love of flowers and design, which was to be a major influence on his perfumes and couture collections.

A Joy Forever is a garden for people who love thier very own gardens, but who don't have a lot of spare time to spend.  A bespoke fireplace with a wicker sofa create a feeling of an outdoor room, whilst the planting has shade-tolerant perennials and a strong backbone of evergreen plants to provide interest throughout the year.   This garden was designed by Kate Gould and built by The Garden Builders.

Stand by to discover what is new to Chelsea this year!  Get real gardening advice and discover the RHS Chelsea 2010 Plant of the Year. Competition will be stiff between the gardens as always but also in the Plant of the Year award where 'Ian Hislop' is up against an aubergine.

As every gardener knows the British weather can be temperamental at the best of times so it is no surprise about Hunter Boots collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society, which features a beautiful range of designs inspired by the society's botanical art archive.  This range comes in 3 styles, the Tall Welly, Mid Welly and Garden Clog, a perfect gift for any gardener!

Hunter Wellingtons Boot news on Cambridge Boat Race Win over Oxford

Hunter Wellingtons have been involved in the Cambridge vs. Oxford varsity boat race since the early 1970's.  This year marked 156th race between the two University teams creating a spectacular social event for all. Cambridge traditionally wears Green Hunter Originals while their Oxford adversaries wear Navy blue. 

Oxford known as the Dark Blues, were the favourites to win this year with a strong start at the beginning of the race and looked set to making it three wins in a row on the Thames.  The crews clashed blades at the Hammersmith bend but Oxford failed to keep their lead.  Cambridge made their move after Chiswick Steps, going on to win by one and a-half lengths in 17 minutes and 35 seconds.

Victory for Cambridge now means they have 80 wins to Oxford's 75 with one dead heat.  This historic event was started in 1829 and continues to be one of the greatest rowing events to watch.

Hunter Wellingtons by Samantha Wright

Hunter Wellingtons

Standing up straight I swept the hair from my eyes,
Breathing in deep I looked up at the sky,
Moody clouds breaking, the sun beating down,
I vividly remember that raw feeling of 'now'.

The tide crept in as the moon pulled tight,
My personal horizon spinning the light,
A web of glitter echoed by the sea,
As I sat on the beach just my Hunters and me.

The surf whipped up, the breeze blew cool,
Steadied by my soles I stood tall,
Leaning into the wind, my arms outstretched,
A precious moment I'll never forget.

Lungs filling up with salt pricked air,
I let the sea wash away all my worries and cares,
The rhythmic lullaby of the ever breaking wave,
I loved every moment of calm that it gave.

My Hunters walked me on, leading me back home,
The path winding to reality tired and overgrown,
Treading through the dirt and kicking up the mud,
I open the door and smile to myself - I'm feeling pretty damn well good.

Fashions come and fashions go,
The weather changes too,
If soggy feet is what you fear,
Then Hunters are for you!

In all shapes and sizes,
They keep you comfortable and dry,
Whilst people in poor footwear,
Sullenly trudge by.

Around town or in the country,
And seen upon the Queen,
There's something there for everyone,
Not only classic green,

They're worn by fashionistas,
And style icons everywhere,
So for cutting edge practicality,
Rush out and buy a pair!

My toddler in the woods I follow
In muddy puddles she jumps high and low
Wet & cold mummy's feet
Oh, for a pair of dry and comfy wellies
My share of chocolate I would forfeit!
