We have been lucky enough to have a sneak peek ahead of this year’s Chelsea Flower Show and asked the designers what their key gardening trends are for 2024. As you would imagine, one of the overarching themes is climate change and dealing with its effects, including the need to use water more wisely. The RHS have been trying to reduce the environmental impact of the shows for many years, as Gemma Lake, Chelsea Flower Show Manager explains.

‘This year we are working closely with all our garden designers to bring the most sustainable gardens we can to the show,’ she says. ‘Together, they are using eco-techniques, low carbon materials and processes that are not only reducing their impact on the environment, but also reducing our waste at the end of the show. Every garden has a final relocation post-show where communities around the country will gain from having a beautifully designed space.’

Health and nurturing is also a big trend this year - so there are soothing sanctuaries and touching on forest bathing. Friendship and community is another key trend, so conceptual gardens have been created on brownfield sites in inner cities with a view to bringing communities together for the common good. And not forgetting the ever-popular small gardens, including balcony and container gardens, offering inspiration for those with smaller spaces or for those renting.
