Chelsea Flower Show Loses Mystery Millionaire Patrons

Project Giving Back, a philanthropic initiative established in 2022 by anonymous donors, will conclude its support for Chelsea Flower Show gardens this year. Over its tenure, the project funded 63 gardens for various charities, representing an investment exceeding £23 million. This initiative played a crucial role in enabling smaller and larger charities to utilize the show's platform. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is now actively seeking new charitable sponsors for 2027. The RHS stated that Chelsea Flower Show has historically attracted sponsors and charities and continues to be a significant fundraiser. Project Giving Back's CEO, Hattie Ghaui, mentioned the project was initially planned for three years and extended, aiming to provide a blueprint for future sponsors. The charity's final garden is designed by James Basson, aiming to inspire and heal through thoughtfully designed spaces.
