Where can you visit this garden after the Show?

The garden has now been relocated to the Stockhill Fire Station in Nottingham where it will be a safe, welcoming and secure community garden for Pulp Friction members, the local community and firefighters suffering from psychological stress.

More than 200 volunteers helped rebuild the garden, which is almost double the size of its original RHS Chelsea dimensions. Wider paths will allow members who have accessibility requirements to move through the garden and more seating allows people to sit and relax surrounded by planting. The garden will be managed by Pulp Friction and the Stockhill Fire Crew together with members of the local community.

“Bringing our garden to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been a truly amazing experience. Our Members were involved throughout, creating a beautiful garden that developed their skills. We have watched as our Members talked to members of the public and celebs and we saw their confidence grow before our eyes, which is what it’s all about for us.” - Jill Carter, CEO, Pulp Friction
