 [RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2024](https://gardensdb.com/shows/rhs-hampton-court-palace-garden-festival-2024) - Pocket Planting

Strive and Thrive
=================

 The garden imagines the aftermath of a catastrophic meteor strike. Amid the disruption and debris, new life emerges and in areas positively flourishes. A vibrant array of colourful plants are bringing back the pollinators, birds and wildlife to heal the land. The meteor creates a focal point, symbolic of a traumatic event and the destruction it can cause. It contrasts with a vibrant and colourful planting scheme that adapts well to poor soil, is tolerant of different moisture levels and is resilient to the new extremes of British weather conditions arising from climate change. Towering birds’ nests within the planting offer hope that life is returning to the land.
