Chelsea Flower Show 2011 - Silver Gilt Medal
This was Tom Hoblyn's fourth year at the show and he returned with a Cornish-inspired garden design that referenced Bodmin Moor, the coastal regions of Cornwall and the gardens at Trebah and Tresco.
Tom, the Suffolk garden designer has a strong affinity to Cornwall as his family farmed there for many generations. He loves its wild, somewhat random landscape.

Chelsea Flower Show 2010 - Silver Gilt Medal
For his 2010 Chelsea show garden, garden designer Tom Hoblyn took his influence from the world of literature with a garden inspired by the 18th century satirical masterpiece Candide by French author Voltaire. The Mediterranean-style garden was designed to represent the ill-fated travels of Candide as he journeyed around the world, across oceans and rapids, in search of his lost love.

Chelsea Flower Show 2009 - Silver Medal
Following his Gold medal in the Urban Garden category at Chelsea in 2008 and inspired by a trip to the marshlands of North Carolina to search for the Venus Flytrap, garden designer Tom's garden for Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust in 2009 highlighted the uncertainty of climate, both environmental and economic. The garden featured some of the largest trees to be seen this year at Chelsea, together with a sculptural centrepiece, "Waves of Change", dominated by a nude female figure, "The Guardian of the Environment".

Chelsea Flower Show 2008 - Gold Medal
Tom was absolutely delighted to be awarded Gold for his first ever Chelsea Flower Show in 2008. The sponsors, Foreign and Colonial Investment Trust, wanted a garden to celebrate their 140th anniversary inspiring a design which also commemorated the 140th anniversary of the death of composer Rossini who likened his orchestral scoring to 'Tempests in Teapots'.

Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2007 - Gold Medal
Tom was thrilled to receive our second gold at Hampton Court Flower Show in 2007. Thomas Hoblyn was sponsored by Homebase who gave us a very open brief aslong as it had an essence of outdoor living - Tom had secretly been longing to use his favourite Renaissance garden: Villa Lante for years, and this was the perfect opportunity. Scotscape built the show garden, and despite the foul weather, attained a level of perfection second to none.

Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2006 - Gold Medal
Tom is a great fan of artist Simon Carter and was thrilled to be able to design a show garden using his work as the main influence. Simon's bold use of colour is reflected in the planting with base colours of burnt orange, blackcurrant and lime green combined with fireworks of contrasting/complimentary colours.
Take for example the carpet of frothy lime green Alchemilla mollis and Prussian blue Aconitum carmichaelii rockets shooting into the sky. Or the sparklers of Allium albopilosum combined with Erigeron "Darkest of all"
