The RNIB Legacy Garden at RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse 2025 has been designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes a multi-award-winning garden designer, broadcaster, lecturer and plantsman.
Through the design of the RNIB Legacy Garden, the planting, use of sculptures and much more besides, people will have the opportunity to explore what it might be like to live with sight loss, enabling them to see the world through the eyes of someone who is visually impaired.
The garden will also be a deeply tactile space using texture, form, colour and sounds to create a truly immersive experience for everyone whether they are visually impaired or sighted.
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Paul to find out how he got into horticulture and gardening, why he wanted to help the RNIB by designing the RNIB legacy garden, what he hopes the general public will take away after visiting the garden and how hopefully the garden will help to make people think about a more inclusive world for blind and partially sighted people.
