RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 - British Rainforest Garden
The Wildlife Trusts were excited to create the British Rainforest Garden, designed by award-winning Zoe Claymore, for RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025. The garden evoked the lush, wet woodlands that once swathed vast areas of the west coast of the British Isles and was sponsored by grant giving charity, Project Giving Back, and supported by insurer, Aviva. It is hoped that the garden will help visitors to learn more about this rare and precious habitat on our group of islands and be inspired to help bring them back.
