🪴This year’s unique show, taking place in September instead of in spring for the first time in the show’s 108-year history, presented a challenge to designers.
Happily, they have risen to the occasion with chutzpah, (we are a nation of 30 million gardeners, after all)
🏆The Guangzhou Garden, by Peter Chmiel and Chin-Jung Chen, won best in show.
Designed to promote cleaner water and air, it features a woodland dell, shelter for wildlife and social spaces for people to gather
🌱Addressing climate change and the growth of mega-cities, this timely garden shines a light on the need for holistic, responsible city planning

The designers show how reclaimed urban and industrial materials can be reimagined anew in a way that is both sustainable and beautiful
🌼The M&G garden features a sculpture of more than 100 linear metres of repurposed metal pipes, weaving through plants, trees and water
