Introducing the British Rainforest Garden

The Wildlife Trusts are excited to be exhibiting at RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the first time with a fantastic show garden, designed by award winning Zoe Claymore and sponsored by grant giving charity, Project Giving Back and supported by insurer, Aviva.

Titled The Rainforest Garden, the garden aims to evoke the lush, wet woodland that once swathed the west coast of Britain, the Isle of Man and the island of Ireland - providing an opportunity for visitors to learn about this precious habitat and be inspired to support its restoration.

We wanted to summon the magic of our long-lost rainforests and at the same time include elements of a wild woodland garden that can be recreated by gardeners. Below are a few highlights of our planting!
