Welcome to Trussell's Together Garden

Trussell’s Together Garden, funded by Project Giving Back, is featuring at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026.  

The garden reflects the power of communities working together - from food banks supporting people today to all of us ending hunger forever. 

Designed by Rob Hardy & Co, the garden is crafted to be an intentional space for connection over a cup of tea. This deliberately echoes those first moments in a food bank when someone feels welcomed, listened to and connected to wider support.  

The seating area is the focal point of the garden and is able shift from a quiet reflective space to a large communal area when the reflective water feature is drained at the pull of a lever - unlocking more seating and showing how simple actions can create a community of change. 

The theme of togetherness is woven throughout the garden’s design – through intersecting paths, and a frame of timbers that each support one another to create a stable, welcoming space. The planting brings a rich mix of textures and colours, vibrancy and breathing space, with each plant playing its part in creating the harmonious whole. These elements represent how all of us can hold each other up and come together to create a stronger society. 

Over 4,200 plants and 75 different plant species make up Trussell’s Together Garden.

After appearing at the show in May 2026, Trussell’s Together Garden is going to travel 385 miles west to Strabane Foodbank in Northern Ireland where the garden is being relocated. This will be the first ever RHS Chelsea Flower Garden to be relocated in Northern Ireland and we really look forward to seeing how the local community will enjoy this beautiful showpiece for years to come. 

You’ll notice this isn’t a food garden – because hunger in the UK isn’t a food problem. We’ll solve hunger when people have enough money for the essentials. Will you play your part in our shared journey towards a future where no one needs a food bank?
