All About Plants at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024

The All About Plants category debuted in the Great Pavilion at RHS Chelsea 2022. This year, six gardens supported by Project Giving Back and designed in collaboration with a UK charity, will be on display. A grief garden, a skate park with a focus on edible planting, and a vibrant design that champions good gut health are just a snapshot of the gardens putting plants at the forefront of the design and keeping hard landscape at a minimum.

A vibrant colour palette of yellow, pink and blue will make up the composition of Chris Hull and Sid Hill’s Bowel Research UK Microbiome Garden. Camassia, Persicaria bistorta and Lupin luteus will flower in this community garden which takes inspiration of its health focus from human cultures that have tended thriving ecosystems for their nourishment. The aim of this wildflower design? To inspire people to rewild their diets, gardens and relationship with the land.

A beautiful cacophony of culinary and medicinal herbs and exotic and native species surround the sleek granite skate ramp at the heart of this garden. Designed for wheeled sports and encouraging physical activity within natural environments, Betongpark and Urban Organic are championing learning and play in this interactive space.

Katherine Holland has created a peaceful sanctuary in which a moment of quiet reflection can be found for those in the turmoil of grief. Plants and flowers have been selected especially for their sensory properties and year-round interest is promised from unusual specimen tree inclusions such as Heptacodium miconioides and Tilia henryana.
