The Countdown to RHS Chelsea Flower Show

Posted on: April 24th 2025    •    Posted in: Landscaping

The countdown has begun! Will Gadd, Director of Landscapes, and the team are in the midst of preparations for this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Gadd Brothers will be constructing The Boodles Raindance Garden for renowned garden designer, Dr Catherine MacDonald, Principal Designer at Landform Consultants.

The Boodles Raindance Garden, inspired by water falling on stone and the intricate patterns created, has been designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ‘Raindance’ jewellery collection. The garden will feature stunning plants such as the Astrantia ‘Shaggy’ and Paeonie Noemie Demay which will sit amongst vivid green ferns, water features and seating areas. These design elements together will create a calming and tranquil atmosphere throughout the garden.

“I can’t wait to get started! Chelsea is the highlight of the year for me and the team. The atmosphere on site during the build has a real buzz, everyone is really friendly and just helpful to each other!”

Construction of the garden begins on site on Wednesday 30th April and marks the start of a three week build before judging takes place on Monday 19th May. Week one and two sees the ground work and hard landscaping take place before the planting and metal work is installed in the final week.
