The studio made its debut at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024 with the Addleshaw Goddard Junglette Garden, which was awarded a prestigious Gold medal.
Sustainability, urban greening and landscaping are central to the studio’s ethos. By weaving together context, history, materiality and geometry, Mike McMahon Studio crafts designs that connect the built and natural worlds.
Mike and Jewlsy say: “RHS Shows offer a unique platform to be at the cutting edge of garden innovation and design, allowing us to explore and
showcase new ideas, planting techniques and creative concepts. They provide an invaluable opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible in garden design and share those ideas with a wider audience. We decided to get involved this year to continue evolving our approach and to present fresh, thought-provoking designs that inspire both the public and the industry. It’s also quite simply a tremendous amount of fun.”
