Chilstone

Michael Dibben founded Chilstone Garden Ornaments in 1953 at Great Linford Manor in Buckinghamshire. In 1976 the company moved to Sprivers, a beautiful National Trust property.

In 1996 it was felt that the new show gardens should be constructed at Langton Green, near Tunbridge Wells. This would consolidate our workshop and retail sites and make Chilstone's show gardens more accessible to the public.

In 2007 Chilstone was sold to an entrepreneur who has invested significantly, improving the showgrounds, offices, moulds, and infrastructure of the business.
