Sustainable and beautiful
The eight Show gardens and eight Sanctuary gardens bring both resilience and joy to the show, with planting schemes and cutting-edge designs, which promise to provide beautiful floral displays and inspiring take-home ideas.
With a relocation plan and a sustainability calculation in place for every garden at the show, 2024 sees a renewed commitment by the RHS; leading the way in championing responsible and innovative techniques in horticulture.
Celebrating trees
This year’s must-see gardens of the Show are delivered by an incredible line-up of both established medal-winning designers, and fresh faces, cutting the turf at Chelsea for the first time.
RHS Chelsea veteran Tom Stuart-Smith’s National Garden Scheme Garden celebrates the majesty of native British woodland with a hazel coppice and underplanting, some of which has been supplied by National Garden Scheme garden owners.
Muscular Dystrophy UK’s Forest Bathing Garden, designed by Ula Maria, harnesses the therapeutic power of nature, with over 40 birch trees enveloping the garden, creating an oasis of tranquillity in the middle of London.
Using water wisely

The Flood Re: The Flood Resilient Garden by Naomi Slade & Ed Barsley turns the problem of too much water into a beautiful opportunity, with lush foliage and colourful planting.
The joy of gardens
