Orange and purple planting was definitely the name of the game.  This is the Sentebale Garden, designed by Matt Keightley and inspired by Sentebale’s Mamohato Children’s Centre.

The garden is designed to raise awareness of Sentebale’s mission to tackle the stigma of HIV in adolescents.

Orange geum were definitely a trend at the show and they looked fabulous.  Orange is my favourite colour, never failing to make me smile.

The Homebase Garden this year is an Urban Retreat designed by Adam Frost in association with Macmillan Cancer Support.
