As part of our journey to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, Rob recently spoke with Gayle Lofthouse on BBC Radio Leeds about the development of our show garden. In this post, we share highlights from the interview, discussing the inspiration behind the design, the story of the garden, and what lies ahead as we prepare for Chelsea 2026.

As we prepare for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, we’re sharing the development of the reciprocal frame at the heart of our garden design. From early matchstick models to a crafted timber structure, this post explores how the reciprocal frame was designed, engineered and made — and why it has become a powerful symbol of collaboration and shared purpose within our Chelsea garden.

Join us behind the scenes as we visit Provender Nurseries to refine our plant list and progress our RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 garden. Discover how expert discussions, planning, and collaboration are shaping the final design.
