Malvern Garden Buildings, sponsors of the Houseplant Studios, unveil a fresh line-up of designers set to push botanical boundaries at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Now in their sixth year and firmly established as a visitor favourite, the Houseplant Studios continue to champion creativity and innovation in indoor planting. Set within six British-made garden rooms, each space provides a blank canvas for houseplant experts and leading plant stylists to create immersive, RHS-judged indoor gardens.

This year’s exhibitors include a mix of emerging and established talent, with several designers making their Chelsea debut. The 2026 line-up features:

Lovehoney presents: Aphrodite’s Hothouse

Designer: James Whiting (Plants By There)

Sponsor: Lovehoney

The ultimate pleasure garden set in a hothouse with the potential to raise a few eyebrows.

The Composer’s Cabin by Martha Krempel x London St. Pancras Highspeed

Designer: Martha Krempel (Martha Krempel Garden Design)

Sponsors: London St. Pancras Highspeed, Sutherland Furniture, Steinway & Sons and South West Peatland Partnership.

“Houseplant Studios has always been about giving designers the freedom to experiment,” says Andrew Peck, Managing Director of Malvern Garden Buildings. “This year’s designers bring fresh energy, bold ideas and a touch of botanical rebellion…exactly what RHS Chelsea visitors love.”

The Houseplant Studios will be located on the plateau in Ranelagh Gardens. Unlike other show categories, visitors are encouraged to step inside these indoor gardens and experience the planting up close.
