This year the gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show<\/a> are divided into six categories:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Main show gardens<\/a>\n\u2022 Sanctuary gardens<\/a>\n\u2022 All about plants<\/a>\n\u2022 Balcony gardens<\/a>\n\u2022 Container gardens<\/a>\n\u2022 Houseplant studios<\/p>\n

There will be 13 main show gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022, including gardens from Chelsea veterans such as Andy Sturgeon, Sarah Eberle, Juliet Sargeant, Chris Beardshaw and Paul Hervey-Brookes. There will be plenty of first-time show gardens too, including Grow2Know\u2019s garden by Tayshan Hayden-Smith and Danny Clarke and a Rewilding Britain Landscape by Urquart & Hunt. Here\u2019s what we know about the gardens so far.<\/p>\n

A Rewilding Britain Landscape<\/h3>\n

Designers:<\/strong> Lulu Urquhart and Adam HuntSponsor:<\/strong> Project Giving BackContractor:<\/strong> Landscape AssociatesChelsea history:<\/strong> First ChelseaWebsite: <\/strong>urquarthunt.com<\/a><\/strong>\nInspired by the \u2018abundance, diversity and beauty that arises from the presence of what the once lost, now reintroduced, beaver brings to the British landscape. A naturally re-wilded landscape in south west England. A brook flows through a copse of hawthorn, hazel and field maple beside a winding West-Country stone wall. Dam and pool \u2018created\u2019 by beavers. Rivulets trickle through and into a riparian meadow where rejuvenating alders, goat and crack willow grow. There will be a timber walkway across a wetland meadow, with native wildflowers, grasses, marginal plants along the pool and stream edges.<\/p>\n

A \u2018woven landscape\u2019 bringing together young and old, green and urban, play and learning, and Alder Hey Children\u2019s Hospital with its community. Its aim is to inspire children to live active, healthy, pleasurable lives and encouraging engagement with nature through foraging, sharing healthy food, play, relaxing together and being in the moment. The planting is inspired by species-rich hedgerows, orchard meadows and bog habitats.<\/p>\n

The imagined metamorphosis of a former 1900s industrial site to show how brownfield land can be rehabilitated using existing and repurposed materials to establish a new environmentally aware landscape. \u201cWith thousands of new homes set to be built on brownfield sites over the coming years, this garden reflects the challenges of inheriting poor soil conditions,\u201d says Paul. The planting is based on a mix of native pioneer species and endemic plants which rehabilitate polluted soils, with garden-worthy shrubs and perennials that require little maintenance or flower for long periods of time. The garden promotes trees, shrubs and other plants that collect carbon at higher rates and improve air quality and highlights a range of techniques all gardeners can adopt to make the planet more sustainable for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Hands Off Mangrove by Grow2Know

This garden unites the prominent issues of global deforestation and social injustice. A deforested mangrove sculpture at the centre acts as a stark remind of the impacts we are having on our ecosystems. It is inspired by the story of community activists the Mangrove Nine, who were acquitted of inviting a riot in 1970. In their honour, nine corten steel roots combine to form a protective sanctuary. The garden is designed to be relocated and includes pollinator-friendly, edible, ornamental and architectural plants suited to inner city landscapes. Through the centre, an upcycled crushed concrete path represents the challenges and threats of racism, poverty and violence in 19060s and 70s London.<\/p>\n

A forest edge garden with a feature building, constructed from Medite Smartply carbon-negative products, which is inspired by vertical rock strata and topped with a sloping green roof and waterfall which cascades down into a pool. The surrounding planting comprises damp-loving, rare and wild species of flora and many trees native to the forests of Southern Ireland, where Medite Smartply source their timber. The result is an informal, textural verdant landscape.<\/p>\n

William Morris\u2019s work was heavily influenced by flowers and gardens. This garden reimagines in garden form, two of Morris\u2019s iconic patterns. \u2018Trellis\u2019 inspires the garden paths and layout, and \u2018Willow Boughs\u2019 is reflected in the design of the water channels and a pavilion with intricate metal screens. The planting includes a selection from his designs and other cottage garden favourites in a palette of earthy reds, apricots and blues. The garden\u2019s legacy will be to \u2018seed\u2019 several new community gardens in Islington in collaboration with the Arc Centre Gardening Collective.<\/p>\n

Designers:<\/strong> Cityscapes \u2013 Darryl Moore and Adolfo HarrisonSponsor:<\/strong> Project Giving BackContractor:<\/strong> Garden LinkChelsea history:<\/strong> First ChelseaWebsite:<\/strong> cityscapes.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

An urban pocket park embodying the ethos of St Mungo\u2019s Putting Down Roots programme, which helps people recovering from homelessness to grow their confidence and skills to rebuild their lives through gardening. It celebrates 10 years of Cityscapes collaborating with the programme to shape spaces, reuse materials and promote sustainability. It is shady and tranquil, informed by natural plant communities and featuring textural foliage with colourful floral accents. A pavilion offers respite from city life and large colourful planters add height and enclosure. The pocket park will be relocated to a permanent location in London Bridge after the show.<\/p>\n

A garden designed to emphasise the inseparable connection of mycelium networks between plants and fungi within woodland ecosystems. A complex pavilion inspired by the interaction between mycorrhiza and the host tree\u2019s roots and a naturalistic \u2018future-proofed\u2019 planting palette drawing on the British countryside make this garden an immersive experience. It reminds us of the urgent need to redress the balance of our relationship with the natural world. The garden will be relocated to the National Forest as part of the Queen\u2019s Green Canopy tree-planting campaign for the Platinum Jubilee.<\/p>\n

A garden that inspires us to connect with each other for our mental health. Sculptural rough-textured clay rendered walls swirl through the sloping garden. In places they enclose calm seating areas, frame views and create backdrops for the planting. Elsewhere the walls come close together forming narrow passages before opening out into wider spaces. The tactile walls are part of a biophilic design ethos encompassing exposure to woodland and meadows, natural materials and water. The garden is largely set among open woodland with generous swathes of colourful meadow planting at the woodland edge. \u201cThis is the first time I have been 100 per cent in control of the brief and I have designed a garden that really functions as a garden,\u201d says Andy.<\/p>\n

In the BBC\u2019s centenary year, this Blue Peter garden focusses on the crucial importance of soil, bringing it up to eye level for us to see, touch, smell and hear. To include soil-themed art, including \u2018citizen art\u2019 projects created by children and adults in Salford, a chance to listen to the sounds of a compost heap, and subterranean observation chamber to see what happens below ground. Vibrant orange and blue planting reflects the colours of Blue Peter. The garden will relocate to RHS Bridgewater after the show.<\/p>\n

A classic contemporary design with hornbeam hedging, central rill, and domes of yew and Prunus lusitanica. Eight flat-topped hawthorn trees provide structure, symmetry and repetition. It is inspired by the horticultural family of growers, designers, gardeners, landscapers and ground staff who are offered support and security by the Perennial charity. A predominantly green palette with touches of soft white and plum create a calming environment.<\/p>\n

A celebration of the history and modernity of the RNLI, which is nearly 200 years old. The design combines hints of the organisation\u2019s Georgian origins, with a classically inspired green oak pavilion at the rear, with contemporary design cues including a contemporary green oak arcade. The rich planting is in a pastel palette of whites, blues and pinks, with statement trees including Ulmus parvifolia<\/em> and Pinus sylvestris,<\/em> hinting at the traditional lifeboat building materials. \u201cThe whole colour scheme is influenced by those very hazy summer days on the coastline,\u201d says Chris.<\/p>\n
