Chelsea Flower Show 2026
To mark our 25th anniversary, we are creating a very special show garden celebrating hope and regeneration. 'The Eden Project: Bring Me Sunshine Garden' will debut at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 before its permanent relocation to the north of England, forming part of a vibrant 1.5-acre public community garden and living classroom – the first completed feature of the new Eden Project Morecambe!
This garden has been made possible thanks to the generous match-funding from the grant-making charity Project Giving Back.
Key features of the garden include...
1
Planting designed to thrive in Morecambe’s wild, salty landscape
2
Textural grasses, resilient coastal trees like cherry silverberry and 'edimentals'
3
Table and stools created by Tom Faulkner in steel, finished with a grey, salty texture combined with local stone, providing a place for learning right at the centre of the garden.
4
Terraces and boundaries crafted from ‘clamcrete’ – a low-carbon concrete made using mussel and cockle shells, by-products of Morecambe’s historic seafood industry
5
A shell-inspired, solar-harvesting pavilion, with post-tension limestone legs and table below – creating an inspiring outdoor classroom for hands-on gardening, foraging, crafts and digital learning
6
Planet-friendly features like rainwater harvesting and biodiversity enrichment

Meet the designers
Harry Holding

Alex Michaelis
Alex co-founded the award-winning architectural and interior design practice Michaelis Boyd in 2002. Nature is the starting point for all Michaelis Boyd's projects, creating forward-thinking, function-focused spaces that fuse the natural world with architecture.
Young adults from Morecambe
Harry and Alex have worked on the garden's design in collaboration with young adults from Morecambe, offering them new opportunities and skills in green industries.
Quote
“ This garden is a true labour of love... Working alongside young adults from the Morecambe community, many of whom don’t fit society’s mould, has shown us the power of hope. Every plant, texture and layer tells a story of resilience and possibility. ”
From Chelsea to Morecambe
Following the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, which runs from 19–23 May, this incredible, sustainable garden will move to its forever home in Morecambe in the north of England, becoming part of a 1.5-acre public landscape and community garden – a free space for everyone to enjoy. Offering a first glimpse of Eden Project Morecambe (set to open in winter 2028), the garden will be a living classroom, community hub, and beacon of regeneration for the town.
