正文(英文) | Garden on RHS showground highlights diversity and biosecurity as paramount to our future ![]() A tree in the countryside The Resilience Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show has unveiled a sensational variety of plants and trees - including a giant redwood, monkey puzzle, prickly pear cactus, red yucca and ginkgo. The centrepiece is a 6m grain silo, repurposed as the designer’s studio with an oak floor and lined with a willow weaving by sculptor Tom Hare. The garden, created by Sarah Eberle to mark 100 years of forestry in Britain, advocates that we need to increase tree cover, diversify planting and follow strict biosecurity guidelines to help protect our landscapes from climate change, pests and diseases. Areas of the garden include woodland, dry and damp zones, a pond and wildflower meadow. The damp area displays butter and sugar iris and globeflower. Woodland plants include Canton fairy bells and Henry’s lime, while the arid zone features aloe vera and Afghan fig. The meadow presents wildflowers including Californian poppies and common columbine. The different habitats mimic existing and probable impacts of climate change in the UK, including drier summers and wetter winters. To create healthy landscapes, we need to plant trees and plants that are resilient to the pressures of a changing environment. The project is inspired by visionary gardener William Robinson and initiated by the William Robinson Gravetye Charity. Robinson began championing a wilder and more natural approach to landscape design on his Gravetye Estate 150 years ago. This included experimenting with a huge variety of trees and plants both for beauty and, in the case of trees, for producing timber. The Resilience Garden forms part of a year-long celebration of 100 years of forestry in Britain. The Forestry Commission, established in 1919, is planting more diverse woodlands and trialling how different tree species fare in diverse climatic conditions. This includes sourcing seeds from two degrees south of a planting site, and experimenting with alternative species including Montpellier maple, red oak, Chinese mahogany, western red cedar and species of eucalyptus. Designer Sarah Eberle said:
Sir Harry Studholme, Chair of the Forestry Commission, said:
Lord Gardiner, Defra Biosecurity Minister, said:
The Resilience Garden is supported by the Kingscote Estate, Gravetye Manor Hotel & Restaurant, the Forestry Commission, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Defra, Scottish Forestry and the Scottish and Welsh governments. The Animal and Plant Health Agency, Observatree and Action Oak are project partners.
