Founding editor of Gardens Illustrated Rosie Atkins is chair of a new charity, Project Giving Back, which gives other charitable organisations the chance to exhibit at the world’s greatest flower show <\/p>
Creating a garden for RHS Chelsea Flower Show<\/a> can be a very effective way for charities to raise their profile and raise funds. The world-famous event offers a unique platform for good causes to bring their stories to thousands of show visitors and millions more who watch and read about it in the media. But funding a garden requires a sizeable budget, something most charities simply can\u2019t afford. This is why the idea for Project Giving Back was born.<\/p> <\/p><\/div><\/div> Project Giving Back is the vision of two private individuals who wanted to support a wide range of charitable causes whose work suffered during the global Covid-19 pandemic and continues to be affected by the cost-of-living crisis. Two RHS life members, they have chosen to remain anonymous but pledged to fund up to 42 gardens at RHS Chelsea<\/a> over three years from 2022 to 2024. In 2023, PGB announced it would extend its support for RHS Chelsea Flower Show gardens<\/a> until 2026. It is also a requirement that all of the gardens be relocated to permanent locations after the show, creating a lasting legacy for the charities and their beneficiaries.<\/p>Head to our Chelsea Flower Show hub page for all the latest coverage of the Show <\/em><\/a><\/h3>
