East Village Garden

East Village – London’s newest neighbourhood – exhibits show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

East Village – the legacy identity of the Athletes Village – will exhibit a breathtaking show garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

The East Village Garden will bring east London to west London with a magnificent garden that celebrates the birth of London’s newest neighbourhood.

The East Village garden has an urban feel, characterised by materials
including timber, glass and steel, which resonate with the contemporary design and construction of the East Village neighbourhood.

It is surrounded by an abstract ‘urban wall’ to create the sense of a city. However, the garden is also heavily plant orientated, filled with drifts of herbaceous plants, shrub borders and mature trees.

This creates the juxtaposition of ‘urban’ and ‘green’, which reflects the ethos of London’s newest neighbourhood.
