What the RHS Chelsea Flower Show’s charity gardens can teach us about philanthropy

from Third Sector

Lucinda Rouse visits the RHS Chelsea Flower Show as grantmaker Project Giving Back marks its fifth and final year of supporting “gardens for good causes” at the event. She hears from PGB chief executive Hattie Ghaui about how its approach has encouraged participating charities to experiment and take risks in their public engagement and storytelling. She visits four of the PGB-funded gardens and speaks to Matthew van Duyvenbode, co-chief executive of Trussell; Kit Stoner, chief executive of the Bat Conservation Trust; YoungMinds’ garden designer Charlie Chase and chief executive Abigail Ampofo; and Paul Jackson-Clark, director of fundraising and experience at Parkinson’s UK.
