Hospitalfield Arts Garden – Climate Meets Creativity The Hospitalfield Arts Garden. Designed by Nigel Dunnett. Show Garden. RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025. Site no. 325 © RHS © RHS Nigel Dunnett and artist Bob & Roberta Smith. © Lee Sharrock Designed by Nigel Dunnett and artist Bob & Roberta Smith, this sand-dune inspired landscape includes a sculptural 'artist bothy' and slogans championing art in education. After the show, it relocates to a Scottish primary school. Inspired by the sand dune landscape of Hospitalfield Arts in Scotland, landscape designer Nigel Dunnett has collaborated with artist Bob & Roberta Smith on a garden featuring a sculptural 'artist bothy' studio nestled among resilient coastal plants like Armeria maritima and Euphorbia mellifera. Designer Nigel Dunnett explores climate resilience through drought-tolerant plants and innovative use of sand and minerals. After the show, the garden will be relocated to a primary school in Arbroath to inspire creativity and connection with nature. The design emphasizes the intersection of art and nature, offering a space for creativity and reflection. I spoke to Professor Nigel Dunnett who told me: 'We're working with an arts organisation supporting artists in their careers. They're based on the East Coast of Scotland. The inspiration for the garden is very much tied to that. Hospitalfield are on the beach with sand dunes and it's really dramatic. This is the sand dune landscape as reinterpreted as reinterpreted through the eyes of an artist or a sculpture. What I've tried to do is make the whole garden a sculpture.' At the back of the garden, the 'artist bothy' created by Bob & Roberta Smith is full of the artist's instantly recognisable hand-painted slogans on placards, buckets and watering cans, emblazoned with statements such as: 'Schools should be liked gardens, nurturing every child with art, music, dance and poetry', and 'All Schools Should Be Art Schools'. Artist Bob & Roberta Smith told me that he is a keen gardener and has gardens at his houses in London and Ramsgate. 'I'm a bit more a Hollyhocks and Hydragea person'.

Titled Three Coverings, Fleming's larger-than-life, abstract sculptures occupy a garden evocative of the British countryside. The brightly coloured, hand woven works are made from discarded baling twine, donated by farmers living locally to Fleming in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. A winding gravel path guides visitors through the garden, with the main sculpture loosely referencing and evoking traditional celebrations connected to the land such as dancing round a maypole. her sculptures stand in a sea of wildflowers and soft grasses. Hazel wood fencing and climbing ivy surround the garden. Bright, woven sculptures made from farm twine animate a wildflower meadow in this art-meets-nature installation. Inspired by traditional countryside festivities, the garden is a sensory celebration of land and heritage. Artist Darcey Fleming talked me through the inspiration behind the garden and her process for creating the woven sculptures: 'I do it all by hand and work on a small loom and patch the pieces together to make larger works. Usually my way of working is very organic. I like the idea of all my material–bailing twine–coming from the countryside. We wanted it to be like a countryside hedgerow. I tend to photograph my works in nature anyway, so I'm recreating that with this garden.' Designer Naomi Frett-Cohen gave me some insights into the planting of the garden and collaboration with Darcey Fleming: 'What we were trying to create was Darcey's artwork presented in a natural setting. We tried to be as wild as we can make it for Chelsea.'

Inspired by the Norfolk landscape, the garden advocates for a slower pace of life, emphasizing the mental health benefits of spending time in nature. Features include gabions filled with natural materials representing coastal cliffs and a planting palette of sandy tones and wildflowers. Designer Joe Carey told me: 'Our garden is based on the narrative around the 'Slow You Down' way of life in North Norfolk. The whole garden is built from unhurried materials. We have a tidal rhythm to our water feature, that cuts of the main path in and out of the garden. So that you are invited to align your pace to nature's rythmn. So as you enter the space, the tide will come up, and that enforces a moment of rest and calm, and you have to wait for the waters to recede before you can carry on and exit the garden.'

King Charles and Queen Camilla Team Up with David Beckham at the Chelsea Flower Show
The relationship between members of the royal family and the Beckhams has received much attention this week. And so it was an intriguing time for David Beckham to appear alongside the King and Queen at the Chelsea Flower show in support of the King's charity. The royal couple joined David Beckham at the Highgrove Shop at the flower show, which is selling products from Highgrove Gardens including honey, gin, jam, homeware and clothing. Their joint appearance this evening was to raise awareness of an upcoming campaign by the King's Foundation to get more young people into horticulture. The footballer is an ambassador for the foundation, which champions the King's philosophy of working in harmony with nature and is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Over the past week there has been much discussion about the relationship between members of the royal family and the Beckhams as both families navigate high-profile feuds. When Kate Middleton wore a Victoria Beckham suit to a British Fashion Council event this week it sparked stories suggesting she was offering a show of support for David and Victoria amidst reports they have fallen out with their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola. Then, The Sun newspaper broke a story about Prince Harry and Meghan hosting Brooklyn and Nicola at their Montecito home. David Beckham has long been popular with the royal family and has been involved with a number of charity initiatives organized by King Charles and Prince William. He received an OBE in 2003 for his services to football and the possibility of him one day receiving a knighthood has been much-discussed. Other members of the royal family attending the Chelsea Flower Show today included Prince Edward and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

King Charles Gives a Rare Health Update During Royal Outing
It's been more than a year since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. Following a brief hiatus from public engagements, the monarch resumed his royal duties and appeared to be a good spirits. In fact, he has since participated in VE Day celebrations and marked a milestone wedding anniversary with Queen Camilla. But the king rarely speaks out about his cancer treatment these days. So, you could imagine my surprise when I caught wind of his recent remark about his health journey. According to Hello! magazine, King Charles recently paid a visit to Impact Hub Yorkshire in Little Germany, Bradford, to meet with local business owners. And when he met with florist Safeena Khan, she inquired about his health. She recalled, "He asked me how I was, and I asked him how he was." Khan then explained that he responded to her with a thumbs-up gesture when she asked about his health. He told her, "I'd like to think I'm on the better side [of my cancer journey].' Following their brief chat, Khan gifted the monarch with a bouquet inspired by Highgrove Gardens. The rare update comes a few weeks after Buckingham Palace issued a statement announcing the king experienced "temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital." This resulted in minor changes to his royal calendar, where he had to postpone the day's engagements and reschedule the following day's activities. Fortunately, though, the king appears to be back on track—as Rachel Bowie, PureWow's Senior Director of Special Projects and Royals, observed during his *seven* public appearances last week. Bowie wrote, "I was struck that the 80th anniversary of VE Day celebrations brought us, count 'em, seven appearances by King Charles and all back to back. This speaks not only to his stamina, but also recent comments made that the monarch, 76, quite dutifully refuses to slow down." She added, "A robust schedule neither confirms or denies exactly how the king is feeling these days, and how the monarch looks has little to do with the status of his health. (We also still don't know exactly what type of cancer he's fighting.) But this week felt like a win-win for both Charles and royal watchers: The king clearly felt well enough to show up and it was a surprise and delight to see him over and over again."

Burberry Sees Sales, Profits Decline in a Tough Year
LONDON — Burberry posted an operating loss of 3 million pounds and a 17 percent drop in revenue in a challenging year of macroeconomic headwinds, a slowdown in luxury demand and major management changes. The year that ended in March will be remembered as an inflection point for Burberry, which brought in Josh Schulman to replace Jonathan Akeroyd as chief executive officer and transform the company's fortunes at one of the most difficult times for luxury fashion in the past two decades. More from WWD Kate Middleton Honors Patrick McDowell With Queen Elizabeth II British Design Award Burberry Returns for Highgrove Gardens Collaboration With Helen Bullock Kim Kardashian's $4 Billion Skims Brand to Open in London in Summer 2026 Schulman initiated a turnaround, and was able to stem retail sales declines in the second half. That progress, and a bullish presentation by Schulman and Kate Ferry, Burberry's chief financial officer, following the results' release, sent the share price soaring. Burberry shares were up more than 16 percent to 9.61 pounds in afternoon trading on the London Stock Exchange. The company said Wednesday that retail sales for the year were down 12 percent. They fell 20 percent in the first half and 5 percent in the second half due to a pipeline of new ad campaigns and a more targeted strategy focusing on Burberry classics such as the trench and the check scarf. On Wednesday, Burberry also announced a wider cost savings plan aimed at unlocking a total of 100 million pounds by fiscal 2027. The company had already unveiled a plan to save 40 million pounds in the same time period. Burberry said some 1,700 global jobs could be eliminated as part of the measures. In the 12 months to March 31, Burberry said revenue fell 17 percent to 2.46 billion pounds at reported rates, down 15 percent at constant exchange. Sales at the Burberry stores were down 12 percent versus a 1 percent drop in the previous year. The operating loss of 3 million pounds compared with a profit of 418 million pounds in the previous year. Adjusted operating profit was 26 million pounds, compared with 418 million pounds. Schulman said customers have been responding well to the ad campaigns and to the new focus on timeless British luxury. He added that sales of outerwear and scarves were resilient, and the turnaround was still in its early stages. The CEO said he was 'more optimistic than ever' that Burberry's better days are ahead.

Burberry to cut 1,700 jobs
Burberry is to cut 1,700 jobs over the next two years as it battles to reduce costs after tumbling to a £66m loss. The British fashion house said it aimed to save an extra £100m by the end of the 2027 financial year, partly through cutting around 18pc of its global workforce. Burberry's shares jumped as much as 9.9pc following the job cut announcement, making it the best performer on the FTSE 250 on Wednesday morning. It came as the company revealed it had swung to a £66m loss in the year to April compared with profit before tax of £383m a year earlier. Revenues tumbled 17pc to £2.4bn, while like-for-like sales fell by 12pc. Joshua Schulman, Burberry's chief executive, who unveiled a turnaround plan for the business in November, admitted it had struggled after a 'challenging first half' of its financial year. The luxury fashion brand, which was founded in 1856, said it would take an £80m hit over the next two years as it follows through with the jobs cuts, as well as efforts to cut expenses in procurement and real estate. The company also warned the 'current macroeconomic environment has become more uncertain' after Donald Trump upended global trading relationships with his tariff campaign. This embedded content is not available in your region. Mr Schulman took over as chief executive last July after years of failed attempts to improve sales under his predecessor, Jonathan Akeroyd. Burberry has also struggled after the Government's decision to introduce the so-called tourist tax, which Mr Akeroyd previously blamed for weaker sales at its London stores. VAT-free shopping for overseas visitors was scrapped by Rishi Sunak when he was chancellor in 2021. The company also struggled with a downturn in China following the pandemic, with lower sales in Asia the biggest drag on its performance last year. China is Burberry's biggest overseas market, contributing revenues of £648m last year. Between early 2023 and Mr Schulman taking over, Burberry's shares dived by more than 70pc. They had fallen 15pc so far this year before its latest results were announced. Mr Schulman's turnaround plan, which has been dubbed Burberry Forward, aims to focus the brand on the 'spirit of Britain'. He said in November he would revive Burberry by emphasising its 'quintessentially British' heritage. The brand has long been a favourite with members of the Royal family. The King launched a collaboration with the Burberry in 2023 inspired by his beloved Highgrove Gardens. Mr Schulman said on Wednesday that the strategic plan would 'reignite brand desire, improve our performance and drive long-term value creation'. The chief executive pointed to the 'continued resilience of our outerwear and scarf categories' as he tries to boost the popularity of the brand's classic trench coats, which cost about £2,000. However, analysts at Jefferies said the latest figures showed Burberry's turnaround plan was in 'slow-burn mode'. Mr Schulman said: 'While we are operating against a difficult macroeconomic backdrop and are still in the early stages of our turnaround, I am more optimistic than ever that Burberry's best days are ahead and that we will deliver sustainable profitable growth over time.'
