Preparations Ahead of Opening Natural Affinity Garden One Year On from Chelsea

This time last year we were busily preparing behind the scenes ahead of the launch of The Natural Affinity Garden for Aspens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023!

The Silver-Gilt Prize-Winning garden, by Camellia Taylor and sponsored by Project Giving Back, has been relocated to the heart of our charity and we are so excited to be officially opening the garden next week to mark the one-year anniversary and celebrate with our community and supporters.

This week the team put on their gardening gloves to make a few last-minute touches ready for the grand opening. Follow us on our socials for photos and updates of all the celebratory activities next week!
