An Irish gardener plans to bring Kerry bogland all the way to London next year. Billy Alexander of Kells Bay Gardens has announced his most ambitious ideas to date for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show as organisers have agreed to showcase his rare ferns in a prime position.

Building on this year’s success, as he was awarded gold medals at both the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the RHS Hampton Court Palace for his rare ground and tree fern display, Billy is keen to secure another gold medal in 2023.
