Frank P Matthews Wins RHS Gold Medal At Malvern Autumn Show 30/09/2024 We are delighted to announce that Frank P Matthews has been awarded an RHS Gold Medal for our fruit display at the Malvern Autumn Show! It’s a proud moment for the entire team, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have our hard work recognised at such a prestigious event. Our display this year was something truly special, featuring over 300 different apple varieties, all carefully grown in our own orchards. These apples, handpicked specifically for the show, represent a huge part of what we do and our passion for preserving and showcasing the vast diversity of British fruit trees. But it’s not just apples—our display also includes beautiful pears, crabapples, and Sorbus, adding even more variety and colour to the exhibition. This recognition means a great deal to us because it highlights the dedication and care that goes into every tree we grow. We’ve been working hard for many years to nurture these varieties and share the best of British-grown fruit trees with customers, and receiving a Gold Medal from the RHS is a testament to that. The display will be moved to Tenbury Applefest this weekend, we’d love for you to come by and see the display for yourself. It’s truly a spectacle, and we’re confident it will inspire anyone with a love of gardening and fruit growing. Whether you’re an apple enthusiast, a keen gardener, or simply curious to see what we’ve been working on, our fruit display is worth a visit. This award is a fantastic validation of the work we do at Frank P Matthews, and it motivates us to keep growing, innovating, and preserving the wonderful range of fruit trees available in the UK. Thank you to the RHS judges, and to everyone who supports us—this Gold Medal is a celebration of our passion for fruit trees and the long-standing tradition of horticultural excellence.
