The Climate-Forward Garden st RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival 2024.
Melanie Hick Garden Design’s show garden at RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival 2024 in the Get Started Category shows visitors how to easily put climate at the front of garden design conversations.
The tranquil retreat that is the Climate-Forward Garden is a harmonious blend of style and sustainability, thoughtfully designed to embrace the challenges of our ever-changing climate. We may face hotter summers and flooding rains. So we need to discuss that when we’re building gardens.
As you step into this enveloping space, you will be invited to take a seat in the conversation pit and take in the enchanting aromas and vibrant hues of Australian eucalyptus and crepe myrtle.
Here, drought-friendly plants thrive in stylish porous gravel. Habitat poles strategically placed throughout the garden encourage biodiversity, creating a haven for small bees to flourish.
Inspired by the evolution of Australian garden design, this space masterfully blends functionality with beauty, showcasing how to reduce water usage while seamlessly incorporating reclaimed materials and welcoming habitats.
Escape the stresses of daily life and retreat into our Climate-Forward Garden, where you'll find solace in an embracing environment that unites people with nature.
Inspired by the eucalypt-filled landscapes of Australia.
Visit us at The Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival July 2-7 and buy tickets on the RHS website.
The Climate-Forward Garden is sponsored by F.H. Brundle.
