RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival - Forest Bathing Garden

Project Description

The RHS Forest Bathing Garden is all about spending time under the canopy of trees surrounded by nature for improved health and wellbeing. It often takes place with a guide and focuses on exploring the natural environment using the senses (sight, sound, touch and smell) to create mindfulness awareness.

Inspired by the Forest bathing concept the design includes a canopy of trees to create dappled shade with mounds covered in wild meadow to the front and the rear of the garden shielding visitors and creating a feeling of enclosure.

Surrounding the main walk way will be glossy shade planting with textural and contrasting leaf shapes combining with the dappled shade to bring a cool, calm and quiet woodland experience to the show ground.

The RHS Hampton Court Palace Festival took place from Mon 4 – Saturday 9 July 2022 and more information about the show can be found here: RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival
