Chelsea Flower Show

What better place to get inspiration from than the RHS Chelsea Flower Show starting today until Saturday. There are some gorgeous garden trends from this year's designs, ones which are very accessible and transferrable to recreate in your own homes.  

This year's ongoing theme across all the show gardens is the use of wildflowers and large plants to create dividers and walkways. We love this as it provides crucial shelter for wildlife and plants for bees to pollinate. Letting your garden grow wild is not only beneficial for wildlife but it can also benefit you and your family's mental health. Another similarity across the gardens is the focus on wellbeing and sensory activation.  

Here are our three favourite gardens from the week that have transferable elements which you can recreate in your gardens. 

The Myeloma Uk- “A Life Worth Living Garden” designed by Chris Beardshaw has been built to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the work Myeloma UK do for patients with incurable blood cancer. This garden focuses on the emotional connection that plants can provide for people, and the focus on taking time to relax and be at one with nature. There is a focus on foliage and vast areas of greenery, including plants such as perennials geraniums: which we sell from £7. They have also included the clever use of a water feature, not only great for wildlife but also a calmer sensory stimulate for those in the garden. We have a range of water features instore and online.
