Discover the Brighterway Incredible Edible Garden – New Forest Show 2025

One of the most thoughtful additions to the 2025 New Forest & Hampshire County Show is the Brighterway Incredible Edible Garden – a sensory, peaceful space designed to showcase the healing power of nature.

Created in partnership with the NHS charity Brighterway and designed by the Knackered Gardener, this beautiful garden is built almost entirely from edible and useful plants, with every element chosen for its colour, texture, scent or taste.

But what makes this garden truly special is what happens after the Show – the entire garden will be relocated to an NHS site, giving patients and staff access to a calming green space for the long term.

Crafted with Care by Brighterway

The garden is just one of the ways Brighterway supports wellbeing across NHS services in Hampshire. Their work focuses on bringing joy and connection to people receiving support for mental health, learning disabilities and dementia – and this garden is a vibrant, living expression of that mission.
