RHS Bothy from Plankbridge

Here's something to look out for in the Grand Pavilion at this year's Chelsea Flower Show next month, the new RHS Bothy designed and built for the Royal Horticultural Society by shepherd's hut specialists Plankbridge.

Various design features have been inspired by visits to RHS Garden Wisley by Richard Lee and co-owner Jane Dennison including the desk brackets (based on the boot scraper outside the Wisley Arts & Crafts Old Laboratory) and Gertude Jekyll sketches from the RHS Lindley Collections which are engraved in the desk back. Curtains and Roman blinds have been made using RHS-endorsed fabrics.  

After Chelsea, the showpiece bothy will move to the Orchard at RHS Garden Wisley as part of a project to reimagine edible growing.

The RHS Bothies will be on sale online and through in-person orders via the Plankbridge workshop from May 2023. They will all be made to order.
