This traditional Shetland croft house garden, complete with Shetland pony for the six day event, was created by Martin Anderson to raise awareness of motor neurone disease.

The keen gardener, a founder member and former trustee of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, first visited the Chelsea Flower Show last May.

After talking to an exhibitor he became inspired to create a design for Chelsea to promote the charity, which helps people with the debilitating neurological condition - and works to find a cure.

He said: "I did not think I stood a good chance of getting accepted. There were about 1,400 applicants for ten suites."

Speaking from Chelsea today, Martin added: "I can"t believe we have won. I am obviously very happy but I do feel exhausted.

"It has been a very long journey to get here. This garden was a team effort and I want to say a big thank you to everyone involved, especially those in Shetland who have been really supportive.

"This garden is dedicated to all those affected by MND."
