This year we are exhibiting at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show again, which runs from 20th – 25th May 2025.

This annual event for all keen gardeners and florists alike showcases an abundance of floral displays and garden designs and it’s an absolute must-see if you’re a talented gardener or even a newbie in the gardening world!  There’s something for everyone to feast their eyes on and it’s absolutely the best way to spend a summer’s day.

After browsing the outdoor gardens, a visit to the Houseplant studios is a must and you can’t leave without a stroll through the array of indoor greenery all displayed beautifully in the Malvern Garden Building studios.

This year The Little Botanical is collaborating with James Whiting from Plants By There where we’ve created a stunning immersive experience called Babylon Beats. We are Stand AR706 if you are visiting, pop by and say hello!

RHS Gold Winner Chelsea Flower Show Design – Babylon Beats

Step into our exhibition space, within a beautiful Malvern Garden building, where every corner celebrates the beauty and serenity of the natural world. As you meander through the exhibit, you’ll find yourself enveloped in a sanctuary of greenery, a temple dedicated to the elements that sustain life.

Our design, Babylon Beats, is more than just a garden; it’s an immersive experience. Visitors are invited to walk through a thoughtfully curated space that encourages moments of pause and reflection. Each section is meticulously crafted to honour the five ancient elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, Sky, and Sea, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. Babylon Beats reimagines the Hanging Gardens of Babylon through a 1980s lens.

This interdimensional, plant-filled structure serves as a place of reverence, where nature is not just observed but celebrated. It’s a shrine to the forces that shape our world, offering a space for contemplation and connection.

Babylon Beats offers an opportunity to reconnect with the natural world. The space will be transformed using light, sound, scent and texture.  Each visitor will have the opportunity to pay their tributes to the elements by dropping a coloured pebble in to a “wishing well” on their way through the exhibit.
