The Grant Horticulture
Xeriscape Garden -
RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse 2025
Designed by our designer, Callum Bain-Mackay, The Grant Horticulture Xeriscape Garden is inspired by the sun-baked Garrigues of southern France, and the landscapes of the wider Mediterranean, this space is an exploration of future proof planting. Xeriscaping is the practice of designing landscapes to reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation, and as temperatures continue to rise and water becomes more precious a resource, the types of plants we use in our borders in the future will need to be more adaptable and resilient.
