Chelsea Flower Show For CAMFED – RHS Gold Medal

Giving Girls In Africa A Space To Grow

In 2019 I was privileged to design an iconic garden at Chelsea Flower Show for an inspiring charity that is dear to my heart, the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED).

The design was 18 months in the planning, with a short 2.5 week build time. Working closely with CAMFED and Conway Landscapes (who built the garden), the garden evolved to reflect the true spirit of the Zimbabwean people – positive, colourful and resourceful.

It captured the hearts of the people who voted it The People’s Choice Award and the Judges awarded a prestigious Gold Medal. Relocated after the show to the Eden Project, the story lives on in Cornwall !

How can a designer put together a garden based on a place they haven’t been to? In order to design the CAMFED Garden I had to experience Africa for myself – the people, colours, sound, heat, vibrancy, plants and atmosphere.
