She performed the role alongside HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, who was Patron of the RHS for 65 years until her death in 2002.

Renowned florist Simon Lycett has designed the bespoke display featuring Lily of the Valley, Her Majesty's favourite flower.

Mr Lycett is among 10 new ambassadors chosen by the RHS to celebrate the first May Chelsea Flower Show since 2019. It is hoped it will be repurposed into a permanent feature in an RHS garden after the event. He said the week will involve lots of long hours to ensure the plants are well watered and “looking fresh”. “With a bumper crop of 39 gardens, the return of a spring RHS Chelsea will set the gardening season off with a bang.” The creation of the monument has been a “wild knuckle ride”, the florist explained, as Lily of the Valley is a very fragile plant which is now nearing the end of its season. Showgoers can expect a “sensory overload” walking past the monument, he said, “because 70 big pots of Lily of the Valley smell spectacular”.

New research released today by Mind shows the nation's mental health has benefitted from spending more time in nature since the pandemic.

During the week at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Mind have a host of activities planned to help engage audiences with the topic of mental health. We’re incredibly grateful to Project Giving Back and to Andy Sturgeon for giving Mind the chance to create a garden at the iconic RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022, and to Dunelm for supporting the Mind Garden’s legacy.” Censuswide abide by and employ members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles. As someone who’s lost a lot over the years, there aren’t many places on this earth where I feel as much love, as much acceptance and as much hope as I do in my grandma’s garden. In the Mind Garden, I want people to feel embraced. Once the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is over, the Mind Garden will live on, enabling more people to access ecotherapy - a formal type of therapeutic treatment which involves doing outdoor activities in nature. But this significant new research provides evidence that gardening in particular plays a key role in bringing together a host of things that are good for our mental health. I want people to feel protected when they are in it.” The Mind Garden creates a sanctuary for conversation - a circular seating area is set within curved lime rendered walls - it’s a place to sit side-by-side and share experiences and advice, surrounded by meadow-like spaces and calming birch trees. I was going through a bad time and didn’t care for my mini bonsai tree. New research released today by Mind shows the nation’s mental health has benefitted from spending more time in nature since the pandemic. The Mind Garden is designed by Andy Sturgeon, funded by Project Giving Back [3] and built by Crocus. As the statistics highlight, spending time outdoors and connecting with others can boost mental wellbeing, themes which Andy drew upon for his design.
