Brambly Hedge at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

In May 2026, the world of Brambly Hedge stepped beyond the page and into one of Britain’s most celebrated horticultural events, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

‘A visit to Brambly Hedge’, designed by floral designer Millie Richardson was brought to life with the flowers of Stokesay Flowers, adorning the Bull Ring Gate at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026. The installation paid homage to Jill Barklem’s remarkable talent as both a storyteller and an artist, recreating beloved scenes from her Spring and Summer stories through an abundance of fresh, seasonal, British-grown flowers and foliage, each one grown in England in a traditional walled garden. We believe this to be a Chelsea first.

Violets, cowslips and forget-me-nots emerged from the hedgerow, evoking the warm days when the mice step out to welcome spring. As summer unfolded, honeysuckle and wild roses, including rambler Rosa ‘François Juranville’ and English garden rose ‘Emily Brontë’, filled the air with sweetness, and thoughts turned to a very special occasion: Poppy and Dusty’s wedding.
