The show gardens at the first RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse are sure to wow and inspire us. Take a look at the exquisite designs at the show

Experience the breathtaking Show Gardens at the inaugural RHS Show in this stunning Yorkshire location. From restful spaces to healing sanctuaries, each garden offers elements to spark ideas for your own outdoor space.

Hazelwood Barn – Reimagined by Bestall & Co, designed by Lee Bestall

Hazelwood Barn – Reimagined by Bestall & Co aims to illustrate how a small space can be transformed into a sustainable and beautiful garden that doesn’t cost the earth, by using some basic design principles, a few reclaimed materials and some locally made products. Inspired by his passion to bring great design within the reach of a wider audience and at a reduced environmental cost, the designer gives a second life to materials and creates a garden that doesn’t feel second best. A reclaimed planting medium supports a variety of plants that are designed to cope with a changing Yorkshire climate. Key features include a bespoke water feature that celebrates the everyday and a reclaimed bathtub housed in a recently refurbished bathing house. 

Garden Whispers designed by Hyeyoung Choi and Yungil Choi

Garden Whispers merges organic architecture with contemporary aesthetics to form an immersive, poetic space. A composition of slender white poles creates a rhythm of vertical enclosures that both reveal and conceal, encouraging exploration. Curved platforms offer tranquil resting spots, while diverse plantings enrich biodiversity and seasonal interest. The garden draws visitors in – sparking curiosity and contemplation. Blurring the lines between nature, art, and architecture, it transforms a transitional public space into a meditative retreat. 

RNIB Legacy Garden designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes

The RNIB Legacy Garden is a space that explores living with sight loss, allowing the wider public to see the world through the eyes of someone who has lost their sight. The garden is a deeply tactile space that uses texture, form, colour and sounds to create an immersive experience. In places it is thought provoking and challenging, but also provides a place of safety, beauty and comfort.

The experience and conversations around RNIB’s Legacy Garden aim to help visitors understand the impact that leaving a gift can have on our work.

The Greenfingers Charity Together Garden designed by Phil Hirst and Jo Charlton

The Greenfingers Charity Together Garden is a private space, designed for use by parents who are staying with their child at the hospice in the end of life suite, to which the garden is attached.

Visitors can see a garden of scrolling forms and spaces which caress or merge into each other, resembling hands softly held together. The design offers moments of tranquillity set amongst immersive planting to pause or reflect, a place in which to feel cocooned, and able to be alone with thoughts or find a glimmer of solace within nature.

Curving paths take the parents on a journey to secluded spaces, with curving timber benches where they can sit and reflect. One of these areas has a bespoke steel and timber canopy offering shelter. Boundary hedges weave organically through the space and the use of trees adds to the sense of envelopment in the space, blurring the boundaries.

The Macmillan Legacy of a Lifetime Garden designed by Pandora Ryan

The Macmillan Legacy of a Lifetime Garden is a space for contemplation, connection and quiet appreciation. It invites visitors to consider the impact of a lifetime and how each generation can support the next. This symbolic garden highlights how leaving a gift in a will for Macmillan can be a lasting legacy, helping those living with cancer in the future.
 
Inspired by the tranquil beauty, healing qualities and lifecycles of nature, the garden features elegant trees with finely cut leaves, casting soft, dappled light through a delicate canopy. Beneath them, lush shade-loving perennials, ferns and grasses form a serene, green and white palette, echoing Macmillan’s brand colours.
 
At the centre of the garden, a still water pool is approached by three chequerboard paths. These symbolise our shared journey through life and the challenges of navigating a cancer diagnosis. Visitors are invited to release seed-infused ‘fallen leaves’, mirroring how a gift can nurture future generations. 
 
Opposite, the ‘Pillars of Strength’ sculptural centre piece, stands as a quiet monument to resilience, support and enduring impact. Its reflective surfaces mirror the water and surrounding landscape, while its laser-cut illustration reinforces the role of Macmillan and the far-reaching effects of legacy giving.
