Shekinah is thrilled to announce we have been chosen as a recipient of one of the featured gardens from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, working in partnership with award winning Garden and Landscape designers Modular, Pathway UK the UK’s leading homeless and inclusion health charities, and philanthropic organisation Project Giving Back.

This exceptional garden exhibit will shine a light on journeys made out of homelessness to recovery and safety, and Pathway’s work on improving healthcare for people experiencing homelessness, ensuring they’re supported out of homelessness to better health and on to a safe place that can be called home.  Using sustainable design and powerful storytelling to represent transformation, resilience, and regeneration, the garden is being created by a team of innovative garden designers, with people with lived experience of homelessness involved in the project from the start.

As a Devon based charity committed to supporting people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion, Shekinah’s involvement highlights the power of community, compassion, and creative collaboration in addressing complex social issues. Pathway has an expert homelessness team at Plymouth Hospital who work very closely with the Shekinah Centre to help people access the expert medical care and support need.

“We are incredibly proud to be part of this inspirational project,” said John Hamblin, chief exec of Shekinah. “The Chelsea Flower Show offers a national platform to raise awareness of homelessness and health and inequalities and celebrate the journeys of those rebuilding their lives and health with dignity and purpose. This partnership truly reflects what Shekinah is all about.”

The garden will be fully sponsored by Project Giving Back, a unique grant-making initiative supporting charitable causes through gardens at RHS Chelsea. After the show, the garden will be relocated to a permanent community space at Shekinah in Plymouth, ensuring its legacy continues to inspire and support.

Modular creates award winning gardens and landscapes for private and commercial clients. They deliver high quality bespoke projects ranging from large residential and commercial to smaller urban spaces. Pathway UK is the UK’s leading homeless and inclusion health charity. They exist to improve the health of people experiencing homelessness and other dimensions of severe social exclusion.
