Gardens focus on power of nature

Gardens focusing on health, wellbeing and the power of nature, including an exhibit designed by the Duchess of Cambridge, feature at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.

The Royal Horticultural Society’s world famous flower show opens its doors again this week.

Members of the royal family and celebrities will get the first sight of the show today before it opens to members of the public tomorrow.

Exhibits include the RHS back-to-nature garden which has been co-designed by the duchess and landscape architects Davies White to highlight how being active in nature can positively affect people’s physical and mental health.

Other gardens focusing on nature and a more sustainable future include Sarah Eberle’s “resilience garden” which marks 100 years of the Forestry Commission.
