What a week it was at RHS Chelsea 2025!

A wonderful week on the Horatio’s Garden RHS Chelsea stand for my botanical linen panels

Horatio’s Garden always have the same huge and well positioned stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show and this year, instead of selling stock, the charity decide to use the space to meet and greet, to raise awareness and generate interest in this wonderful organisation.

As a result the stand had to be stunning and a lovely place to hang out and learn more about what this spinal unit garden charity actually does. I’ve been amiss in not telling you - in case you don’t know, Horatio’s Garden has been installing huge and amazing gardens with garden rooms onto the side of every spinal unit in the country. There are eleven spinal units across the UK, patients stay in them for up to 18 months and the charity has currently built these patients eight large gardens. One in Sheffield is about to be opened and there are only three more remaining gardens to being planned.

All in all, the complete effect of the wire arches, the flowers and the linen background was stunning. Everybody loved it and we enjoyed a week of broad smiles and queues to be photographed on the magic bench.

I loved working on this project. I believe strongly in the power of plants to improve our health and make us better, and love working in public art. The more people we can reach with images of flowers the more joy we share.
