The team battled with downpours to build the garden, earlier this week.
At its heart is a garden within a garden. The wooden-edged keyhole design has space to grow vegetables around the outside, with an inner section meant to accommodate kitchen waste, including peel and vegetable trimmings.
“As they rot down and mulch down, you water the garden through that section so all the nutrients then flow into the garden itself,” said Matt Knight, who constructed that part of the design.
It is all part of the charity’s wider messages of sustainability and food security.
Around 6,000 people are expected to see the garden during the course of the 119-year-old show.
However, missing on the day itself will be fellow garden creator The Duchess of Edinburgh and the show’s royal patron King Charles. The monarch visited last year but the 2026 event clashes with the wedding of Peter Phillips, the son of his sister, The Princess Royal, which is due to be attended by most of the royals.
