RHS Chelsea Flower Show

Showground installations

Flourishing amid the gardens, exhibitors and features are displays of floral creativity and wonder

RHS Letters

By Pinstripes & Peonies

This year’s RHS Letters installation is by florists Pinstripes & Peonies. Enshrouded in a spectacular mass of heavenly, blousy, UK grown peonies, and intertwined with further blooms and plants to provide complementary bursts of colour. Sourced and constructed following eco-friendly principles, after the Show, the plants will be planted out in Herbert Morrison Primary School in London, with the flowers composted on the school grounds.

Timeless Expressionism

By MHLK Collective Garden Design London​

Bold strokes of hot pink and vibrant purples, inspired by ME+EM’s summer collection, make a confident statement amid a verdant tapestry, weaving abstract expressionism with timeless allure. Here, among the lush foliage, every petal represents resilience; structural perennials stand tall to embody the enduring strength of women; and ornamental grasses offer a refuge from the urban cacophony.

Dave Green Gardens

Abeba Esse

By Zak Ové and Dave Green Gardens

This garden depicts a Black Diasporic journey, from Africa to the Caribbean, and ultimately the UK. Visitors are led down a path through changing landscapes, encountering artist Zak Ové’s Invisible Man sculptures along their journey. Finally a quintessential English garden, features plants typically found in stately homes, indicative of the power and wealth accrued in the UK through slavery. Botanical labels record the names of historical figures, institutions and corporations who benefited from investments in slavery.

A Roman Garden

By Katie Lewis & Stephen Herrington

In its third year as official headline sponsor, The Newt in Somerset: A Roman Garden follows the style of the 1st century ad, maximising light and air within a compact space. Every inch shows the Romans’ careful eye for design and the interplay between nature and architecture. Aesthetic choices of colour, fragrance and ornamental planting create a moment of joy and repose, while medicinal planting highlights the Romans’ knowledge of the health and wellbeing properties of plants.

BONES

By CITRINE

Embellishing the beautiful structure of the Bullring Gate, BONES is inspired by the ‘bare bones of floristry mechanics’ and the often hidden tricks of the trade used by floral artists to create largescale installations. The colour palette majors on green, including uncanny, architectural and unusual plants and flowers, and the exhibit makes a feature of planet friendly floristry methods and materials.
 

Even a Wallflower Can Bloom

By Poppy Sturley

This year’s London Gate installation celebrates the launch of the latest season of Bridgerton, and the story of Penelope Featherington – a character often described as a wallflower and all-too-often overlooked by her peers. Floral artist Poppy Sturley’s design is an exuberant celebration of Penelope’s ambition and gutsy nature, with a bold colour palette of British-grown flowers deployed to communicate that she is not the wallflower people assume her to be.
