"What was once a rubbish tip is now a living garden. It feeds my family, cools the air around our home and gives us somewhere to gather. I call it 'my country's garden'. When I sit there, I feel like I am back in Syria." – Newroz, Gawilan refugee camp resident youtu.be/-WUn3pXJL_8?...

As @RHSChelsea returns, we're reflecting on our 2018 show garden. Gardening isn't a 'nice to have'. It is a fundamental human desire to grow beauty and food, to find solace in a patch of ground 🌿 #RHSChelsea #ChelseaFlowerShow2026

Hi everyone 👋 We're transforming refugee and IDP camps, one garden at a time. Gardening heals. It combats isolation, improves mental health, fosters belonging, boosts food security and so much more. Let’s grow beauty, dignity and opportunity for displaced communities – together. Who’s with us?
