The tallest-ever garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, The B&Q Garden has been designed to encourage individuals and communities to develop sustainable food growing spaces and enhance urban greening, no matter what the size of their plot. One way B&Q is able to do this is through the introduction of the new Vertical Grow Box, now in store and helping the nation get to grips with vertical gardening.

Everything growing in the garden is edible. A potting shed incorporates composting, rainwater harvesting and storage, a thermal chimney, photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine.

The planting scheme features both ornamental and native species and demonstrates the diversity of our edible plants. It includes rhizomes, bulbs, leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds.
