🌿 What happens to a Chelsea Flower Show garden after the show ends? ...

It was such an honour to attend the opening of The Curious Garden, originally designed by Frances Tophill for RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, in collaboration with the and The King’s Foundation, and now relocated to Farnborough College of Technology.

It was a joy to see this garden being given a new purpose. As a former textiles student, I loved seeing students now exploring natural dyes and discovering how plants can inspire more sustainable fashion and design.

A beautiful reminder that a garden’s story doesn’t end when the show is over. 💚

Just incase your wondering whether to plant the bulbs 💚

Always worth the plant!

Sharing some flourishing joy from some of my past garden tulips.

Just incase you needed💚

There’s something wonderfully simple about planting bulbs until you start wondering which way is up, how deep they should go, and whether you’ve got it quite right.

So here’s a little diagram to make bulb planting feel a little less confusing, and a little more effortless. 🌿

Get them planted soon, and they’ll have everything they need to flourish come spring. I start to plant my Tulips in November.

Now is a great time for daffodils, crocus and alliums🤍
