Chelsea exhibit a ‘huge honour’ for owner of world-class plant collection in Kerry

The owner of a world-class plant collection in Kerry is set to realise his greatest professional ambition by exhibiting at next May’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Kells Bay House & Gardens boasts the Northern Hemisphere’s biggest tree-fern forest and Billy Alexander and his family celebrate 10 years in the nursery business on the Ring of Kerry next year.

Exhibiting his fern display at Chelsea, he said, is a huge honour and a major breakthrough for Kells Bay, which is building its reputation as one of Ireland’s premier heritage gardens.
