RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2024

RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival is the world’s largest flower show, and Practicality Brown are delighted to support Garden Designers at the event again this year.

Show Garden

We have supplied Yew Practical Instant Hedge™ and Pine trees for Sadie May Stowell’s Oregon Show Garden.  This showcases the natural beauty of the state of Oregon, including wildflower planting, natural crisp clear waterfalls and forest planting. The planting is natural in appearance and focuses on pollinating plants and flowers.

Get Started Gardens

The “Get Started Gardens” category aims to inspire beginner gardeners and spark ideas that can be achieved at their own home. We supported two Garden Designers in this section, both of which were awarded a Silver Gilt medal:

A Four Seasons Sanctuary created by Tim Jennings included our Hornbeam Elements and Purple Beech Practical Instant Hedge™. Combining striking modern design features with traditional materials.  With naturalistic ‘drift’ planting, this is a garden to be enjoyed by humans and wildlife alike. This garden has a strong stylish aesthetic that also provides the natural, seasonal wild space to sustain a diverse kaleidoscope of life

Lastly, Melanie Hick used our Elaeagnus evergreen screens for her award-winning Climate Forward Garden.  A front garden re-imagined for our changing environment with style and sustainability front and centre. It is influenced by Australian garden design.  It has evolved to cope with the demands of harsh climate conditions like drought and flooding rains.
