THE HIVE, RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026.
The British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) is proud to present The Hive: A BALI Collaboration, its trade stand garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026. Designed by Matt Evans of The Garden Room Living & Landscape Studio, the garden is a living demonstration of what the landscaping industry can achieve when its best minds, skills and suppliers work together.
The name is deliberate. A hive is not just a structure, it is a community of individuals working in concert to produce something greater than the sum of its parts. That is exactly what has happened here: BALI members and partner businesses have pooled their expertise, products and craftsmanship to create a 5m x 4m space that works equally well as a private garden, roof terrace or urban public green space. The message is clear: great landscape design is versatile, climate-resilient and built to last.
“The Hive is a direct expression of what BALI membership stands for. It is not one business or one discipline, it is our entire industry coming together to show what we can deliver for people, communities and the environment.”
