London-based Tom Massey,
another up-and-coming
designer, is creating ‘The
Perennial Sanctuary Garden’,
championing the healing
power of plants, which in
current turbulent times
is becoming increasingly
important. More than 2,500
individual plants of different
colours will make up the
garden, exploring the effect
colour can have on our mood.
Show Gardens
Show sponsor, Viking Cruises
have joined forces with
acclaimed designer Paul
Hervey-Brooks with a garden
inspired by the overseas
destinations they travel
to. Multi-RHS Gold medal
winning, Andrew Fisher-
Tomlin and Dan Bowyer
will shine a light on the
work of Blind Veterans UK

with a community garden
for members, staff and
volunteers that will be rebuilt
at one of the charity’s centres
after the show. Zoflora
returns this year with a large
woodland play garden for
children and adults with
disabilities such as autism.
Accessible and inclusive, the
garden aims to reconnect
children with nature through
play.
‘Brownfield –
Metamorphosis’, by town
planner and designer Martyn
Wilson, explores the power
of plants to regenerate
naturally and become
established among industrial
ruins. Andreas Christodoulou
and Jonathan Davies are
dismissing the manicured
lawns of modern garden
design and encouraging
urbanites to transform city
garden spaces into natural
‘forest glades’.
