Meet Alex Rocke, Chief Designer at Harrod Horticultural, and discover more about the design process of the stunning Southwold Garden Furniture Collection and the best selling Darsham Folding Furniture range.

Each year, Chelsea brings together the very best in horticulture, garden design and outdoor living, and this year was no exception. From beautifully planted show gardens to inspiring trade stands and expert growers, the show was full of creativity, colour and craftsmanship - and we were delighted to be part of it once again.

Harrod Horticultural is delighted to announce that we will once again be exhibiting at the world-renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026. As one of the most prestigious events in the horticultural calendar, Chelsea is a true celebration of garden design, craftsmanship, innovation, and inspiration.

We have opened the doors to something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time: a dedicated Harrod Horticultural pop-up showroom in the heart of Mayfair, London.

We are excited to share that we will be out and about across the UK with a brilliant line-up of experiences. From a London pop-up showroom in Mayfair to our stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, plus a season of collaborative garden displays with Peter Beales Roses, 2026 is set to be a wonderful year for meeting customers, designers, and fellow garden lovers in person.

January has a quiet kind of promise. The borders are resting, the lawn is often too wet to touch, and the whole garden feels paused - but it isn’t. This is the month where good gardens are made, not with frantic planting, but with small decisions taken early.

An interview with horticulturalist and content creator Michelle Jenkins on creating a cutting garden using raised beds. From the first sowings of spring to armfuls of late-summer stems, raised beds can transform a plot - large or small - into a productive, beautiful place to spend time.

I’m excited to share a peek into the Kitchen Garden as we turn the page from late summer to autumn. September has been all about savouring the last warm days, tidying the greenhouse, and lining up the beds for a productive winter. If you’re keen on growing your own, this is such a rewarding moment in the year: you can celebrate what’s finished, and quietly set the stage for what’s next.
