Climate change poses a huge threat and may lead many gardeners globally to rethink what plants they grow and how they grow them. At the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, one garden highlights climate-resilient crops and innovative solutions that may become more commonplace in the face of rising temperatures, extreme weather, and drought.
The Garden of the Future was designed by award-winning designers Mathew Butler and Josh Parker, supported by the Gates Foundation. The edible show garden includes many crops grown in challenging conditions by smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia today. These climate-resilient crops offer a glimpse into what could become more commonly grown globally as the temperatures warm.
