Introducing the Horatio’s Garden stand at RHS Chelsea 2025

We are delighted to be part of the creative team for Horatio’s Garden spinal unit charity at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, hosted and sponsored by Country Living magazine.

I can now reveal the whole stand! Isn’t it gorgeous?

As mentioned in our last news post, I was honoured to work with Bunny Guiness and the Horatio’s Garden events team to bring this year’s stand to life. Bunny created a gorgeous three dimensional stand design incorporating wirework, arches of fragrant flowering climbers and beds of live wildflowers.

To complement and magnify the wild flowers inside the stand, I hand painted the individual meadow plants in large scale and created a continuous wall design that stretched across the length of the stand.

The final panels were printed onto three metre high lengths of linen which were finished as curtains with sleeves top and bottom for supports.

The whole concept around the wall design was sustainability and biodegradability. The panels, depicting English flower meadows, are printed in the UK using sustainable dyes. As they’re created as curtains they can also be used again and again, rather than taken down and discarded at the end of the show - and they’re made from natural fabrics so will gently disintegrate when they aren’t needed any more. Did you know that our ancestors, who wore all natural fabrics, used to discard their clothing on their fields as compost when they were too old to wear any more?

We hope and are sure that this year will be a huge success for Horatio’s Garden and very much look forward to visiting the charity and our panels in situ on the stand this week. If you’d like to come and see us we’re on Cross Ways, stand CW312.
