‘You could dig up a lot of asphalt’: Tim Smit’s Chelsea garden prioritises growing food

Eden Project co-founder Tim Smit has collaborated with landscape designers Harry Holding and Alex Michaelis to create an "edimental" garden for the Chelsea Flower Show, which merges edible plants like cabbages and strawberries with traditional bedding plants to inspire local councils to convert asphalt spaces into community gardens and encourage young people to grow their own food. Following the show, the garden will be permanently relocated to Eden Project Morecambe as part of a 1.5-acre community space for learning and gathering.
