Who won best show garden RHS Chelsea Flower show 2022?

A Rewilding Britain Landscape designed by Lulu Urquhart and Adam Hunt won best show garden at the 2022 RHS Chelsea Flower show.

The garden shows a wild landscape in South West, England.

The garden features a beaver dam, a pool with a lodge behind it, a shabby shed and an abundance of UK native plants.

Urquhart and Hunt, based in Bruton in Somerset stressed the principles of rewilding are not just for the countryside.

The garden was designed for the charity Rewilding Britain and aims to make a statement about the reintroduction of Beavers into parts of the country after they became extinct in the UK 400 years ago.

It aims to show their role as incredible bioengineers within a natural ecosystem, alongside crack willow, hawthorn and alder. As well as this the garden features native grasses that are pruned how they would be in the wild.

James Alexander-Sinclair, of the Royal Horticultural Society chair of judges, said: “it was a hard-fought debate between members of the judging panel to decide which garden to award best in show.”

He added: “in the end, all the judges were captivated by the skill, endeavour and charm of A Rewilding Britain Landscape – every step is exquisite.”

One of the designers of the Garden, Lulu Urquhart, told the Guardian it was “saying give space to nature with this garden”.

The pair went on to tell the Guardian: “Like we’re not necessarily just talking about gardening. Leave some areas.”

“Rewilding Britain is about the marginal areas. This may not be a formal garden, but we are trying to show you what you see out in nature when it’s colonising itself, is a lovely mix of shrubs, trees, grassland, meadows.”

“And that gives rise to mass habitat for birds, fish, amphibians, insects, and that’s what we’re trying to show you in a kind of nano-space.
