RHS Chelsea 2022

RHS Houseplant Studios 2022 in collaboration with Malvern Garden Buildings

We are delighted to have worked in collaboration with the RHS once again. Malvern Garden Buildings provided six stunning garden buildings for the award-winning Houseplant Studios area at the 2022 Chelsea Flower Show.

Tucked away on the Plateau in Ranelagh Gardens, our practical studios offered houseplant enthusiasts the perfect space to showcase their designs and give visitors the inspiration to bring their homes to life with on-trend, plant-filled rooms.

Meet the Designers

We know what a positive impact well designed spaces can have on quality of life, and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with designers who understand the extraordinary benefits of houseplants.
