Show Garden | Award: Gold

With an ‘edge of woodland’ theme, multi-stemmed hazel trees and drought-tolerant plants, this garden celebrates nearly 100 years of the National Garden Scheme opening private gardens to the public. Central to the design is a carbon sink timber hut towards the rear. A portion of the plants have also been donated by National Garden Scheme garden owners.

This is Tom's ninth gold medal at RHS Chelsea. Sharing his secret to success, he told Adam Frost: 'I think it's pretty simple really, you've got to work with the best people and then you've got to trust them.'

This garden celebrates the significance of urban 'pocket parks' in London and other cities, which are often connected with historic churchyards. The tranquil space serves as a sanctuary for urban dwellers and city wildlife, and nature evidently takes centre stage with a biodiverse planting scheme. It forms the basis of a restored, accessible garden at St James’s, where some 300,000 people from all walks of life seek tranquillity and inspiration each year.

Reflecting on his gold medal win, Robert said: 'We've created this rather ginormous structure, [I was] a bit worried that the judges might think it was just all a bit too much, but what a relief.'

This garden seeks to capture an autistic person's everyday experience of the world, and highlights a strategy called 'masking' – a potentially draining process which involves consciously or unconsciously hiding autistic characteristics in order to fit in. Key to the design are walls of cork used to create a series of spaces dedicated to different types of social interaction.
