Description
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is renowned worldwide as the home of the very best in horticulture - where designers at the top of their game create show gardens that delight and inspire all those who love gardening. Since 2022, many of these gardens have been funded by innovative charity, Project Giving Back. Founded to support good causes - large and small - in creating their own gardens at the world's best-known flower show, the charity's key proviso has been that the gardens should live on in some way after the event, so benefitting the charities involved and the communities of people who enjoy them. Gardens for Good is a gloriously illustrated and engaging account of the 60 gardens made possible by Project Giving Back, and a celebration of the best in contemporary garden design, including the work of Sarah Eberle, Tom Stuart-Smith, Jo Thompson, Chris Beardshaw, Andy Sturgeon, Nigel Dunnett, Ula Maria and many more. Through interviews with the designers and the people who have benefitted from the gardens; detailed plant lists; and a wealth of specially commissioned photography, readers will find not only inspiration for their own plots, but a deeper understanding of the many different ways in which gardens can be a force for good.
