Eden at Chelsea
May 24, 2010
Author: Ben
Homeless people and prisoners on day release have created the biggest garden ever seen at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Five hundred people supported by 43 homelessness agencies and 50 from eight prisons have teamed up with gardeners from the Eden Project to grow and plant the Places of Change garden, led by award-winning designer Paul Stone.
With its forest garden and traditional woodland hut alongside a range of trees and foraging plants, it is proving a magnet for early visitors – including some top celebrities – to the world’s most famous flower show, which officially opens tomorrow (Tuesday May 25).
