RHS Houseplant Studios 2024 in collaboration with Malvern Garden Buildings

We’re delighted to be collaborating with the RHS to bring seven stunning indoor gardens to the Houseplant Studios area at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.

Tucked away on the Plateau in Ranelagh Gardens, our practical yet stylish garden buildings will offer indoor plant stylists and botanical designers the perfect space to unleash their creativity. Each exhibit will be designed to impress and inspire visitors to green up their homes with lush, on-trend foiliage.

With meticulous planning, skilled craftsmanship, and a passion for horticulture and design, Malvern Garden Buildings at the Chelsea Flower Show transform into portals to other worlds. Visitors are invited to explore each garden escape and imagine how they might use them.
