Chelsea Flower Show 2026
To mark our 25th anniversary, we created a very special show garden celebrating hope and regeneration. 'The Eden Project: Bring Me Sunshine Garden' debuted at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, where it was awarded the prestigious RHS Environmental Innovation award and a Silver-Gilt medal.
The beautiful garden is now being relocated to its rightful home in the north of England, where it will form part of a vibrant 1.5-acre public community garden and living classroom – the first completed feature of the new Eden Project Morecambe.
The RHS Chelsea show garden was made possible thanks to the generous match-funding from the grant-making charity Project Giving Back.
Key features of the garden include...
1
Planting designed to thrive
in Morecambe’s wild, salty landscape.
2
Textural grasses, resilient coastal trees
like cherry silverberry and 'edimentals'.
3
Table and stools created by Tom Faulkner in steel, finished with a grey, salty texture combined with local stone -
providing a place for learning right at the centre of the garden.
4
Terraces and boundaries crafted from ‘clamcrete’ – a low-carbon concrete made using mussel and cockle shells
(by-products of Morecambe’s historic seafood industry).
5
A shell-inspired, solar-harvesting pavilion, with post-tension limestone legs and table below
An outdoor classroom for hands-on gardening, foraging, crafts and learning.
6
Planet-friendly features
like rainwater harvesting and biodiversity enrichment.

Quote
This garden is a true labour of love... Working alongside young adults from the Morecambe community, many of whom don’t fit society’s mould, has shown us the power of hope. Every plant, texture and layer tells a story of resilience and possibility.
From Chelsea to Morecambe
Following the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, which ran from 19–23 May 2026, this incredible, sustainable garden is moving to its forever home in Morecambe in the north of England, becoming part of a 1.5-acre public landscape and community garden – a free space for everyone to enjoy.
Offering a first glimpse of Eden Project Morecambe (set to open in winter 2028), the garden will be a living classroom, community hub, and beacon of regeneration for the town.
