Awarded an RHS Silver medal at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show July 2024. The Edible Garden at Berkeley Castle is inspired by it’s enduring architecture and resilient landscape with the intention of creating a playful, productive and engaging space for all. The garden celebrates the steadfast community who care for it whilst highlighting sustainable horticultural practices.

The planting pocket will be relocated at the walled kitchen garden within the castle grounds and will be accessible to everyone. The aim is to inspire others to create bountiful and experimental spaces full of edible and medicinal plants that also support the bio- diversity in our own gardens at home.

The willow obelisks were a bespoke creation by Sue at Stone Willow Craft, inspired by the characterful chimneys of the Castle. The crushed whelk shell provided by Shell on Earth creates a moisture retentive mulch and refects light for the sun loving plants! A few of the more interesting herbs were supplied by Jekka's Herb Farm. At the centre of the design is the beautiful copper pot, over 150 years old and once used in the castle kitchens.
