The National Forest: Joe Perkins’ The Meta Garden unveiled after rehoming to the heart of the National Forest

We’re delighted to announce that Joe Perkins' award-winning garden from RHS Chelsea, titled The Meta Garden: Growing the Future has been officially unveiled today at Conkers Discovery Centre, at the heart of the National Forest.

The design highlights mycelium, the crucial relationship between soil, fungi and plants, which together form the basis of resilient forest ecosystems, and has been specially redesigned to fit the larger space at Conkers and the surrounding woodland.

The garden reflects the many communities and partnerships that have come together over the last 30 years to help create the National Forest, the volunteers who have helped Joe’s team recreate the garden at Conkers and who will look after it in the future, and also the many community woodland groups in the Forest who use Meta’s social platforms to help manage their voluntary work.

The Meta Garden is all about championing natural solutions to climate change and how we can both create more and protect our wonderful British woodlands. By reusing the garden and making it part of the Conkers experience, more people will be able to see the garden here at its new home in the National Forest.
