RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021: The Yeo Valley Organic Garden
In RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021, The Yeo Valley Organic Garden will be exhibited in the Show Garden category. This garden designed by Tom Massey and supported by Sarah from Yeo Valley Organic, the garden is stimulated by the habitats, wildlife and plants found on the family's farm in Somerset. The garden was due to display at Chelsea flower show 2020 before it was cancelled, so this is taking two for the team.
In the show Sarah describes the
chance to display a Chelsea garden in September as a "once in a lifetime
opportunity to see a completely different horticultural palette."
Here's the whole thing we know
about the 2021 scheme so far and what happened to the plants prepared for 2020.
Design Features of the Yeo Valley Organic Garden 2021
The Yeo Valley Organic Garden will
bring the values and ethos of the focal family-run farm to London. The design
will rejoice biodiversity, soil health and inspire pollinators and other insects.
Tom Massey and Sarah expectation
the wildlife-rich, maintainable garden design will inspire people to try the
same methods in their personal places at home, like planting pollinator-friendly
plants, using organic compost, and avoiding plastic and chemical-based pesticides
and fertilizers.
The Yeo Organic garden design contains
an open recurrent meadow area full of colourful, scented flowers to provide a
nature-rich habitat. It will be separated from the rest of the garden using
wall dividers made from biochar logs and earth. These specific logs are full of
carbon and promote the idea of maintaining healthy, carbon-rich soil.

The main structural important point
will be an egg-shaped oak hide, handcrafted in Cornwall by Tom Raffield, as
another nod to soil health and fertility. It will hang over a stream that
twists and turns throughout the entire design and fills the space with the
soothing sound of water.
