Hermione Homes at the Chelsea Flower Show: “Here for Humanity Garden”

Hermione Homes had an extraordinary experience at the Chelsea Flower Show, sitting alongside talented gardeners like John Warland and Tom Bannister. This year, the event unveiled an exceptional expression of landscape design, particularly with the British Red Cross Garden, also known as the ‘Here for Humanity Garden’.

The ‘Here for Humanity Garden’ was a conceptual masterpiece, capable of conveying a powerful message through its alpine-themed design. With rare plants, modular and reusable planters, this garden offered visual beauty and deep emotional resonance. It was a space that reflected the challenges of our times, bringing comfort to those who have faced loss, illness, solitude, and even destruction. A living work of art that beautifully intertwined nature and storytelling.

The Glasshouse: An Oasis of Peace:

Another space that caught Hermione Homes’ attention was the Glasshouse, a hidden

corner of tranquillity. With its multiple glass doors opening into an intimate, covered part of the garden, it created a sense of refuge, surrounded by rare plants, flowing water, and elegant, contemporary garden furniture. Without pausing to immerse oneself in this protected space, one could easily miss a unique sensory experience where scents, colours, and sounds are nicely blended.

This stunning project was designed by the renowned landscape designer Jo Thompson, whose work has long been admired for its elegance and ability to create spaces that evoke deep emotions. The Glasshouse truly represents a second chance, a sanctuary of beauty and serenity, a place that invites contemplation and well-being.

An Experience to Remember:

Hermione Homes, alongside our landscape gardener friend Louise Sugrue, was captivated by the richness of this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. The images of the alpine garden and videos of The Glasshouse serve as a testament to a day that celebrated the best in landscape design.
