This year's RHS Chelsea Sustainable Garden Product of the Year, Sustainable Lifestyle Product of the Year and Sustainable Business of the Year awards have been announced at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The awards, which come under the RHS's Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Awards, celebrate sustainable practices across the industry.
Winner of Sustainable Product of the Year 2026
Gaze Burvill has won the accolade of sustainable product of the year for its National Trust Planter. The National Trust Planter is created using British oak off-cuts, transforming ‘waste to wonder’. It features a ‘twist and lift’ detachable crown, and a 100% recycled liner.
The judges said: "Gardening should be part of the solution to the biodiversity crisis, not part of the problem. The Gaze Burvill planter demonstrates how intelligent design, responsible materials and long product life can dramatically reduce waste while strengthening our connection to nature."
The winners of two more sustainability categories were also announced this morning at the show. Seilich’s certified wildlife friendly tea Meadow Tea Blend won Sustainable Lifestyle Product of the Year award, while Waleeda took the crown for Chelsea Sustainable Business of the Year.
