About this garden

The story

Designed by celebrated garden designer James Basson of Provence-based Scape Design, the Project Giving Back Garden will offer a dramatic, other-wordly landscape, never before seen at RHS Chelsea. The garden celebrates the legacy of Project Giving Back's funding of more than 60 gardens inspired by good causes since 2022 and the enduring impact those gardens continue to have through relocation, reuse and community benefit.

Towering red sandstone cliffs, coloured by natural ochre pigment and gently weathered over time, sit among pine woodland. Beneath them, the planting is resilient and suited to the warm climate of southern France, offering a glimpse of what UK gardens may look like in the near future.

The garden is dramatic and rich in biodiversity. It has been designed to start a conversation about the unique approach Project Giving Back (PGB) has taken to make an impact on the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and charity sector in the UK.
