10 Unmissable Exhibitors at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025!
The biggest event of the gardening calendar is almost here! This year’s edition of the Chelsea Flower Show, run by the Royal Horticultural Society, will be taking place from Tuesday 20 May to Saturday 24 May.
‘The Greatest Show in Earth’ is an opportunity for green-fingered gardening enthusiasts to take inspiration from cutting-edge garden design, peruse the finest floral displays and browse a wonderful selection of retailers and exhibitors bringing their expertly curated wares to market.
Amongst all the jaw-dropping flora, fauna and shopping, it can be easy to get lost – so here’s ten must-see exhibitors at this year’s show curated by Nth Degree!
Carrie Anne Funnell
Glass artist and sculptor Carrie Anne Funnell specialises in one-off commissions and is one of the show’s don’t-miss exhibitors. Her kiln-formed glass art is a pleasure to behold, taking cues from nature’s free-flowing forms and colour palettes to create stunning outdoor and indoor structures.
Moments of Reflection
Sitting at the heart of the Floral Marquee in the show’s Pavilion, you’ll find Moments of Reflection, a RHS x UBS-sponsored installation, designed by up-and-comer Max Parker-Smith. Aiming to capture the grounding effect that walking in nature has on our wellbeing, this design uses modern and traditional materials from a diverse range of environments.
Barbados Horticultural Society
Regular show-goers will be familiar with the efforts of the Barbados Horticultural Society, who have exhibited at the Pavilion for over 30 years, earning their 22nd Gold Medal in 2024. This year, their exhibition celebrates and explores folklore indigenous to Barbados – a must-see!
in-lite
Given that most gardens are designed to be viewed in sunny weather under cloudless blue skies, you’d be forgiven for overlooking your garden’s lighting. Thankfully, in-lite have thought of that, with their range of uber-stylish garden lighting opening the door to balmy evenings spent under the stars. Their stand will be a dream for garden-mad shoppers.
Nth Degree
Fans of discerning interior and exterior design need look no further than Nth Degree, provider of luxury outdoor furniture made from FSC-certified teak. Like all things Nth Degree, their stand at the show will deliver a carefully considered, immersive garden experience. Stylish, refined and effortlessly liveable, it’ll be an oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of the show. Sit back and unwind – five minutes can easily turn to 30 here!

Their exhibit at this year’s show is titled Cultivating Connections, which explores the diverse world of fungi and the key role they play in ecosystems the world over.
Woodpecker Joinery
If you’ve got your eye on a greenhouse for your garden, look no further than Woodpecker Joinery, whose stunning cedar and Victorian-style greenhouses and cold-frames have been made in the UK since 1994.

Jeremy Hastings
Nothing puts the final touches on an expertly curated garden like a beautiful water feature, and Jeremy Hastings’ stand is well worth a visit for that reason. Handcrafted with Cornish slate, Hastings’ spherical water features deliver a sensory experience, with an eye-catching look that reflects the light and a peaceful, contemplative sound.
