Yesterday afternoon we went along to the Country Homes & Interiors garden party at the Chelsea Physic Garden. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and the perfect place to celebrate the magazine’s Country Business winners!

Situated in the heart of London and founded in 1673 it is the city’s oldest botanic garden boasting a unique collection of 5,000 different edible, useful, medicinal and historical plants – a hidden gem indeed!

We would like to say a huge congratulations to the winner of ‘Country Business of the Year 2012’ – Juliette Brown Forden from Hayloft Foods… and also to all of this year’s runners up. From Sarah Hughes’ edible flowers to Amy Swann’s cakes you can read all about this year’s winner and runners up in the October issue of Country Homes & Interiors.
