A regular at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Andy Sturgeon is an accomplished medal winner with his innovative planting, lighting and installation ideas achieving gold medal winner status no less than nine times, including winning the highest accolade of ‘best in show’ three times.

Andy’s 2022 gold medal winning ‘The Mind Garden’ promoted the benefits of nature and gardens and the importance of conversations about mental health and has now found a new home at Mind in Furness.

The M&G Garden was inspired by the concept of ecological succession and celebrated the ability and power of plants to adapt and colonise habitats in what is known as ‘ecological succession.’ The woodland themed garden design was inspired by Andy Sturgeon’s deep-rooted childhood memories of woodland environments. It won best in show in 2019.

The Telegraph’s ‘Captured Landscape’ garden, which won best in show at the RHS Chelsea flower show in 2016 is a powerful depiction of the geological events that shape our landscape and testimony to Andy’s striking use of unusual plants, architecture and sculptural forms.
