Sophie Parmenter takes us behind the scenes of her award-winning garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and its incredible journey to a new home in Scotland. Sophie, who co-designed this silver gilt-winning garden for the National Autistic Society, shares the process of creating and relocating a garden, the inspirations behind the planting choices, and the unexpected challenges that came along the way like the redesigns required to adapt the garden to its new site at Catrine Bank along the River Ayr.

This episode provides a captivating glimpse into the world of show gardens and the lasting impact they can have.
