Chelsea Flower Show
Trussell’s Together Garden, sponsored by Project Giving Back and designed by Rob Hardy is inspired by the way food banks, and the communities who support them, come together to help those on the lowest incomes. The garden shows that when each of us plays our part, we can end hunger together.
This theme of ‘togetherness’ is expressed through the garden’s intersecting paths, a shared seating area and a reciprocal frame structure where individual timbers are woven together for strength and stability.
A water feature in the centre of the garden provides a focal point for moments of reflection
and connection for one or two people. This can be drained away to reveal more seating – unlocking potential for more people to come together.
Diverse and unexpected planting combinations create inspiring outcomes, reflecting the power of different people playing their part to end hunger.
Bright, colourful plants bring energy and momentum, and softer woodland-edge species add softness and calm. The pea family have been chosen for their ability to enrich the soil and support others, reflecting compassion and solidarity. Irises provide bold colour and striking form, while euphorbia adds architectural structure and contrast, and multi-stemmed Betula ‘Fascination’ offers visual intrigue with its distinctive bark.
Vivid red-oranges are paired with calming blue-greens, and soft pastels contrast with deeper tones.
Find it in the small show garden section.
