Chelsea Flower Show 2026

Supporting Alzheimer’s Society

Inspired by the rural orchards of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, the Alzheimer’s Society: Microbes & Minds Garden explores the journey of apple cider vinegar - its natural origins and its growing association with gut health and overall wellbeing.


Unveiled at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, a globally renowned celebration of horticultural excellence and innovative garden design, the installation reflects the rich apple-growing heritage of the British countryside. It also highlights the evolving scientific dialogue around the connection between the gut microbiome and brain health.

We were proud to support this meaningful garden, championing Alzheimer’s Society in bringing attention to such an important and progressive area of research.

The Alzheimer’s Society's garden also highlights the growing body of research exploring the link between gut health and brain health, alongside the everyday lifestyle choices that may help support long-term cognitive wellbeing.

Dementia remains the UK’s leading cause of death, with someone developing the condition every three minutes. Its impact is far-reaching, touching millions of lives - including many of those attending the RHS Chelsea Flower Show each year.


As one of the world’s most prestigious horticultural events, Chelsea provides a powerful platform to spotlight meaningful causes. We were proud to support Alzheimer’s Society in bringing greater visibility to their vital work across research, care, and advocacy, helping to drive progress towards deeper understanding, improved support, and ultimately, a cure.

A Garden with Purpose

The Alzheimer's Society garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show is more than a display - it is an invitation. Designed to evoke calm, connection, and contemplation, it reflects the kind of environment that research increasingly suggests may support cognitive health.


In this garden, you are to pause, reflect, and reconnect - with nature, with your own wellbeing, and with a cause that touches so many lives. Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply stop, breathe, and pay attention to the world around us.
