Green concerns highlighted as RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival returns

Environmental concerns are at the forefront of a number of gardens at this year’s Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, as it makes its return after the pandemic.
Gardens highlighting the sixth mass extinction of wildlife on the planet, efforts to tackle plastic pollution and the impact of fashion and clothing on the environment are among the “global impact gardens” at the festival.
The Royal Horticultural Society, which puts on the festival, has a feature garden designed by Jamie Butterworth which draws attention to the impact the changing climate is having on gardens and gardeners.
We’re used to seeing designers pushing boundaries to scoop a coveted medal at the Chelsea Flower Show. This year they might not even need a garden to stand a chance of winning.
Balconies will be recognised for the first time in a nod to flat-dwellers who discovered their green-fingers during lockdown. It is something of a contrast to the huge designs at Chelsea in recent years including the reproduction of a Tuscan quarry and another that came with a canal lock.
The Royal Horticultural Society, which organises the show, has also introduced a ‘container garden’ category for those lacking outdoor space – but not ambition. The new categories will feature in this year’s event, which will take place in autumn for the first time in 108 years.

Balcony gardens will feature at Chelsea Flower Show for the first time as curators try to be relevant to young renters.
Visitors will see how these small spaces can be planted with species that can survive shade, cramped space and heavy wind - and don t drip on neighbours.
Following the decision to postpone the RHS Chelsea Flower Show until September for the first time in its 108-year history, designers have been tweaking their plans for the later show, and new exhibits have been planned.
