The Homebase Garden – Time to Reflect | Get Into Gardening



Chelsea Flower Show 2014
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014 takes place from 20 - 24 May. We have a long history of success at the show, winning medals for our gardens year after year: with a silver medal in 2010 and two consecutive gold medals in 2012 and 2013. This is just one of the reasons why we feel confident in our garden knowledge and products.
The Homebase Garden – Time to Reflect

We're delighted to have the award winning garden designer, Adam Frost, creating our garden again and believe that this year's garden will encourage the nation to embrace the great outdoors.

Inspired by Adam's childhood memories of loved ones, 'Time to Reflect' is a garden that envelops families in a safe and welcoming space. Ornamental and wildlife friendly, it is a tranquil environment where young and old can become more engaged with gardening, whilst taking time to reflect on life and build memories for the future.

Designed for Homebase in association with Alzheimer's Society, the garden has been built by Adam Frost, supported by a team of plant experts, plus the Homebase Garden Academy students who will spend their time learning practical horticultural skills from Adam and earning a RHS Level 1 Award.
