Visiting Chelsea Flower Show 2022, which returned to its usual May slot, I was delighted to discover that sustainability and well-being were at the heart of many of the show gardens and other exhibits at this iconic celebration of horticulture.
The show buzzed, literally, as gardens filled with bees, hoverflies and other wild insects attracted by the rich biodiversity of many of the gardens. Natural landscapes, recycled and upcycled materials, wildflower lawns and native planting schemes offered inspiration to the thousands of visitors for a more planet friendly way of gardening. There were no manicured lawns, no fake plastic grass and the dazzling floral art constructed without the use of wasteful floral foam.
