This year, there is a great focus on sustainability. Gemma Lake, Chelsea Show Manager, says “We are proving that great design and sustainability go hand in hand.” Reducing the environmental impact of RHS Shows has long been a priority. This year, efforts are being made through a focus on eco-friendly garden builds and relocations. Gemma explains, “This year we are working closely with all our garden designers to bring the most sustainable gardens we can to the show. They are using eco- techniques, low carbon materials and processes that are not only reducing their impact on the environment, but also reducing our waste at the end of the show.”
