The RHS garden, designed by children, for children, is a joyful journey through a fantastical landscape where they can explore the magic of lush woodland, bountiful meadows and a wetland with heightened colour and oversized bog plants.
Their adventure culminates at the final destination – a natural den set within a pool of water. Sliding down into the water, this sunken children's only space is a sanctuary where they can play, learn, and explore the natural world around them.

Bringing the dream children’s garden to life
Highlighting the importance of access to nature for children, the garden is an immersive experience where they can scramble over boulders, splash around in the natural stream, and dive into jubilant planting.
Art, sculpture, and textural clay celebrate the child-like creativity innate in all of us, while sensory planting and natural materials create a nourishing space. Above all, it's a celebration of the natural world and the joyous wonder children experience within beautiful landscapes.
Key sustainability points:
- The garden is cement and concrete free
- Largely recycled materials (eg deadwood from RHS Wisley)
- Use of natural materials only
- Highly biodiverse and wildlife friendly planting scheme and habitat provision
