In 2023, Project Giving Back sponsored 15 gardens for good causes at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and in their relocated and repurposed homes.

The garden has been relocated to Lindengate charity, a nature based health and wellbeing charity with a six acre teaching garden in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, where it can be enjoyed by anyone visiting the garden, and is used by the charity as a teaching and learning space.

The garden has been relocated to the Alder Hey Children's Hospital as a permanent feature that is open to the public.

The Mind Garden has been rebuilt at Mind in Furness, Cumbria, a local Mind centre that provides mental health, support, including eco-therapy. Plants from the show garden have also been donated to a further 11 Mind centres across England.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a unique opportunity for charities to raise awareness of and support for their work at the world’s most famous horticultural event.
