RHS Urban Show. Designing Seven Small Space Gardens
I designed seven small space gardens for the RHS Urban show. The flower show was the first ever indoor flower show and the first show dedicated to urban gardening
RHS City Spaces: Cloudscape aims to answer one single question.
How can we make our towns and cities greener?
Cloudscape is a new and ambitious concept designed for the RHS Urban Show by multi award-winning garden designer, Jason Williams (aka 'The Cloud Gardener'). My 18th floor balcony garden in Manchester gained a large social media following during the lockdowns of 2020 - he has since used his platform to communicate the benefits of urban gardening to biodiversity, wildlife and mental health.
This film follows Jason as he prepares his centrepiece show gardens for the Royal Horticultural Society's inaugural Urban Show. Working alongside like-minded collaborators to create seven different garden design concepts, Jason considers the challenges that regularly face urban gardens. From growing in containers, sun and shade to renting and budget restrictions. Seven separate stories all intertwine into one.

Lastly, a massive thabk you to Liz & Andy from Plant Mcr who worked tirelessly to bring the gardens together. They actively work with their developer engaging their local community to use the greenspace in the development to garden.

    What i found is after you use boiling water, to prevent molding, put a fan on the soil to get air circulation and dry out the excessive water. Then stir after a couple days to dry moisture underneath out.

    I'm doing this because my potting soil contains topsoil, and this topsoil contains bacteria and fungus, which prevents my cutting from rooting. The third method seems easy; however, I don't know how effective it really is.

    Hi Jason, I have spoken to some artists in my studio. They are all into plants and botany in one way or another. One of them has an allotment at MontJuic. You should definitely visit that park and see the large 200 person allotment. Barcelona is a city of concrete so it is nice to have that park down the road (well, up the road, considering it is on a slope) from the studio. Just google “Montjuic extension of Font Trobada allotments” or “Community gardens of city park Montjuic”. I hope you go. And hope you make some contacts with whoever is in charge of the park or community gardens there. P.S. Barcelona, like the cities of Italy, is full of smokers so the air is hard to take at times, at least for me, a non-smoker. So, be prepared for that!

I'm writing in from Vancouver, British Columbia and my neighbourhood is currently going through a transformation from houses and low-rise apartments to 20 story glass towers. The loss of green spaces and street trees is very concerning to myself and my neighbours. Seeing how you advocate for urban greening and balcony gardens and the resources you create is so important and you are truly one of my heroes. Much love!
