This year’s RHS Letters installation is by florists Pinstripes & Peonies. Enshrouded in a spectacular mass of heavenly, blousy, UK grown peonies, and intertwined with further blooms and plants to provide complementary bursts of colour. Sourced and constructed following eco-friendly principles, after the Show, the plants will be planted out in Herbert Morrison Primary School in London, with the flowers composted on the school grounds.

This garden depicts a Black Diasporic journey, from Africa to the Caribbean, and ultimately the UK. Visitors are led down a path through changing landscapes, encountering artist Zak Ové’s Invisible Man sculptures along their journey. Finally a quintessential English garden, features plants typically found in stately homes, indicative of the power and wealth accrued in the UK through slavery. Botanical labels record the names of historical figures, institutions and corporations who benefited from investments in slavery.

Embellishing the beautiful structure of the Bullring Gate, BONES is inspired by the ‘bare bones of floristry mechanics’ and the often hidden tricks of the trade used by floral artists to create largescale installations. The colour palette majors on green, including uncanny, architectural and unusual plants and flowers, and the exhibit makes a feature of planet friendly floristry methods and materials.

Belgravia in Bloom brings the world of fun and games to life across the neighbourhood with colourful, vibrant installations. This display has been created by Judith Blacklock with support from Westminster Wheels – a
charity that collects old bikes, makes them rideable and donates them to good causes. In this design, a metal structure featuring bikes is covered in moss, and fresh and dried plant material, with figures created from British willow.

A modern and unusual take on a still life, Vertical Veg uses sustainable mechanics to create an improbable tower of locally sourced, seasonal flowers, fruits and vegetables, all of which are typically found in the kitchen garden. The exhibit forms part of this local neighbourhood’s Chelsea in Bloom event, whose theme this year is ‘Floral Feasts’. With sustainability in mind, all parts of the display will be reused or recycled in future events or through charities.
