Highlights from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show

What a week. After months of preparation and incredible collaboration with the Hollander Design team and all our sponsors, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 has come and gone — and what an extraordinary edition it was.

This year’s 113th show drew some 145,000 visitors to the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and having a space within this iconic show to share our sculptures with you, is a privelage and never gets old.

Here are some of our personal highlights from this year’s show…

Best Tradestand Award

Receiving the Best Tradestand Award must be the highlight of the show for us. The team alongside Hollander Design, Giulia Puccini, and our brilliant sponsors, worked incredibly hard to deliver a space honouring traditional skills and craftsmanship. Thank you to all who stopped by to say hello.

Butter-yellow blooms

Each year at Chelsea, a plant or colour palette is often repeated on several show gardens. This year, we thought butter-yellow was having a moment. The trendy shade has already made waves through the worlds of fashion and interiors, so it’s unsurprising to see it pop up in horticulture too. From the new David Austin shrub rose, ‘Sir David Beckham’, to the climbing yellow rose (Rosa banksiae lutescens), and Ranunculus planted in the On the Edge garden are particular favourites.

Glorious veg in flower beds

The Feast exhibit by seed company, She Grows Veg was centred around a magical woodland dining space overflowing with heirloom vegetables. Around the outside, ornamental and edible plants grew side by side. Elsewhere at the show, vegetables and blooms could be found planted together in the RHS and The King’s Foundation Curious Garden, and in our very own woven willow planters too.

Fusion & Fission floral display

This eye-catching arrangement by Helen James Flowers was continually surrounded by a swarm of admirers in the Plant Pavillion. Much like the golden nucleus in our bold statement piece, Aeon, this bold and colour-rich floral design ‘captures a radiant moment of creation’. Using a multi-media mix with Nerines, Briza media, and yellow Craspedia bringing textural variation, it’s an optimistic expression of the hope for a cleaner, brighter future.

RHS x Citi Season of Abundance Garden

When entering the Plant Pavillion from the Bull Ring Gate, the RHS x Citi Season of Abundance Garden by Imogen Perrau Studio greets you. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic festival Beltane, it was a wildly beautiful mix of cool greens and gentle pink tones – a welcome tonic to the hot blaze happening outside the tent.

Project Giving Back by James Basson

A garden that marked the end of an era. Since 20222, Project Giving Back have funded an extraordinary 63 gardens at Chelsea, which has allowed incredible charities to gain a global platform to highlight the amazing work they do. But this is their last year, and to mark its fifth and final year at the show, Project Giving Back presented its own feature garden, designed by James Basson of Provence-based Scape Design: a dramatic, otherworldly landscape of towering sandstone cliffs and pine woodland, celebrating the legacy of everything PGB has achieved.

Breathtaking small gardens

The balcony and small gardens are a favourite every year. The Contain the Rain Garden designed by John Howlett was a highlight with its Persian and Moroccan inspired garden design. The sculptural elements and soft planting felt welcoming and restorative – a space you’d happily sit in for hours. The Alzheimer’s Society: Microbes & Minds Garden, which told the story of the immeasurable benefits of apple cider vinegar, was another favourite. Particulalry the potted apple trees, Malus baya marisa ‘Tickled Pink’ and Malus ‘Red Falstaff’.
