We were delighted to create an allotment at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, as part of the RHS Allotments in July 2024. Below is a snippet from the RHS website.
RHS Allotments
A feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, the RHS Allotments are small plots with big ideas, exploring grow your own remedies for health alongside delicious fruit and veg.
Nature’s Haven Tea Garden
Nature’s Haven - To celebrate the nation’s love of the humble cuppa, this ‘tea garden’ is filled with plants that heal – a theme reflected in the therapeutic community group they run in Berkshire. Every species grown here has a purpose, either as an edible tea crop or as sustenance for bees and other insects. An arch of Trachelospermum jasminoides AGM (star jasmine) is flanked by two raised beds, created to be accessible to those with mobility issues, and filled with plants suitable for a range of teas and tinctures. Passionflower, which helps to reduce insomnia, climbs over nettles, known for their anti-inflammatory properties; while eucalyptus is a known remedy for coughs and colds.
