The BBC Studios Our Green Planet & RHS Bee Garden by Joe Swift
(Picture: Kate Jacobs)This year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a case of evolution not revolution, with an ongoing pull towards naturalistic planting schemes that owe more to meadow and woodland than the overly manicured show gardens that we might associate with Chelsea.
There are conventional designs, like the undeniably beautiful The Perennial Garden ‘With Love’, designed by Richard Miers, but you’ll find far more spaces that are deeply rooted in the wild landscape, like A Rewilding Britain Landscape, by Lulu Urquhart and Adam Hunt, and Medite Smartply ‘Building the Future’, designed by Sarah Eberle.
