RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 is celebrating the beautiful natural landscapes of the British Isles
Seawilding designed by Ryan MaMahon
All About Plants in the wild
In this year’s All About Plants category, supported by
Project Giving Back, four designs look at how plants, wildlife and people adapt and interact with the environment around them.
Seawilding by
Ryan McMahon captures the spirit of Scotland’s west coast landscape, with a saltwater pool planted with seagrass, the UK’s only native ocean plant. The garden exclusively features plants native to the west coast of Scotland, such as globeflower, a wildflower of the Scottish wet meadows, and string sedge.
The Wildlife Trusts’ British Rainforest Garden by Zoe Claymore
The Wildlife Trusts’ British Rainforest Garden by
Zoe Claymore evokes the verdant wilderness of the rainforests which once swathed the British west coast. Reflecting a trend towards naturalistic planting and regenerative gardening, the planting utilises native shade-loving plants to boost local wildlife. Lichened silver birch trees, dense ferns, and foxgloves feature throughout, while a striking two-metre moss wall provides a lush backdrop for a tumbling waterfall.
The SongBird Survival Garden by Nicola Oakey
A soft, countryside-inspired palette of plants features in
The SongBird Survival Garden by
Nicola Oakey, which highlights how gardeners can support the UK’s declining songbird population. Bird-friendly planting such as arctic bramble, grasses and yew hedges provide food, nesting material and shelter for songbirds, whose population has declined by 50% in just two generations.
The ADHD Foundation Garden designed by Katy Terry
The ADHD Foundation Garden designed by
Katy Terry takes its cue from the surrounding environment with unique plant forms formed by nature – such as windswept trees – to reflect the uniqueness of people. The garden celebrates neurodiversity, while also bringing relief and calming the mind with beautiful planting and a gently stimulating design.
“RHS Chelsea Flower Show is always an exciting opportunity for designers to offer a different perspective on garden design, and it’s lovely to see designers bring these British Isle landscapes to life across the garden categories.” – RHS Director of Shows, Helena Pettit
