The Eden Project Bring Me Sunshine Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 marks 25th anniversary

Chelsea Flower Show 2026

To mark our 25th anniversary, we are creating a very special show garden celebrating hope and regeneration. The 'Bring Me Sunshine Garden' will debut at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 before its permanent relocation to the north of England, forming part of a vibrant 1.6-acre public community garden and living classroom – the first completed feature of the new Eden Project Morecambe!

This garden has been made possible thanks to the generous match-funding from the grant-making charity Project Giving Back

A garden inspired by resilience

Drawing inspiration from the dramatic coastal landscapes, seaside heritage and spirited communities of Morecambe Bay, and designed in collaboration with young adults from the area, the garden will be a vibrant celebration of renewal, nature and the power of young people to shape a brighter future.

The garden will be built from sustainable materials, reflecting the strength and resourcefulness of Morecambe Bay. The soft, coastal-inspired planting will evoke a sweeping natural meadow, with pinks and yellows punctuated by vibrant blues. Textural grasses will add movement and wildness, while ‘edimentals’ (edible and ornamental plants), including sea kale, samphire and artichokes, will champion productive and sustainable gardening techniques.

Meet the designers

Our 'Bring Me Sunshine Garden' is being created by award-winning garden designer Harry Holding and architect Alex Michaelis from Michaelis Boyd. The designers are working in collaboration with young adults from Morecambe, offering them new opportunities and skills in green industries.

This will be Harry's third RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden. Sustainability and resilience are at the core of his work practice, designing gardens to last and enhance the lives of both people and the natural world.

Nature is the starting point for all Michaelis Boyd's projects, creating forward-thinking, function-focused spaces that fuse the natural world with architecture.

Quote

Harry Holding, garden designer

“ This garden is a true labour of love... Working alongside young adults from the Morecambe community, many of whom don’t fit society’s mould, has shown us the power of hope. Every plant, texture and layer tells a story of resilience and possibility. ”

From Chelsea to Morecambe

Following the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, which runs from 19–23 May, this incredible, sustainable garden will move to its forever home in Morecambe in the north of England, becoming part of a 1.6-acre public landscape and community garden – a free space for everyone to enjoy. Offering a first glimpse of Eden Project Morecambe (set to open in winter 2028), the garden will be a living classroom, community hub, and beacon of regeneration for the town.
