RHS Chelsea 2024

21 - 25 May

We are thrilled to return to RHS Chelsea 2024 and will be bringing a new Dalerb Garden Lounge Chair to extend our Dalerb Garden Collection, plus Clinker Bench (similar to our Reflection Bench) and we are still working on that one.

Creating our furniture is a slow process, as we begin with finding suitable local wood. The garden furniture currently being made is with oak offered to us by Glen Lyon estate after Storm Arwen (November 2021). The first step is for tree surgeons to cut the trunks into butts, secondly get them to a place where they can be uplifted, and thirdly move them to a place where a mobile saw mill can get alongside.

The planks then air-dried for a year, in our yard in Aberfeldy, before ready for steam-bending and exterior furniture (wood for interior furniture goes through an extra kiln drying process).

Last year we were thrilled that our Dalerb garden Chair was nominated for RHS Chelsea Flower Show Sustainable Garden Product of the Year.
