Garden designers from Surrey,
involved in this year’s show, include
Helen Olney, from Godalming, who
has designed the Burma Skincare
Initiative Spirit of Partnership
Garden. The ‘Sanctuary Garden’
design tells the story of a global
dermatological partnership which
supports Burmese healthcare workers
treating adults and children with skin
conditions. All of the plants in this
garden are found in Myanmar but
will grow happily here in the UK.
Matthew Childs, from Reigate,
is returning to Chelsea 10 years
after his debut and has designed
this year’s Terrence Higgins Trust
Bridge to 2030 Garden – to mark
the progress of the Trust, from the
fear and misinformation of the 1980s
through to today, and its mission
to end new HIV cases by 2030.
Those on the hunt for specialist
growers are in for a treat at the
Ottershaw Cacti stand – just don’t
stand too close – or head on over to the
luscious leaves of Sienna Hostas who
can be found in the Great Pavillion.
West Sussex
Based on a farm in Steyning, the Caley
Brothers – who are in fact sisters,
Jodie and Lorraine – have created a
fascinating business focusing on edible
and medicinal mushrooms. As well as
farming and selling their crop they also
sell kits so that you can grow your own
mushrooms at home, from Lion’s Mane
to oyster mushrooms of every colour.
They also run workshops, so if you want
to learn more about this wonderful,
Burma Skincare Initiative
edible crop, these are the people.
Also at the show is The Little
Botanical, specialising in house
plants and accessories with a strong
sustainable ethos; British-grown, quality
plants in peat-free soil. Their mission,
apparently, is to inspire people to
make plants a part of their everyday
lives, and what better place to be!
Miles Japanese Maples, from
Pulborough, will be in the Grand
Pavilion, tempting those of us who love
