The 'Vision in Bloom' Garden
Community Cube – 443, RHS Sandringham Flower Show 2026
The ‘Vision in Bloom’ garden was designed for the 2026 RHS Sandringham Flower Show, as a collaboration between Vision Norfolk and local garden designer Rajul Shah, to raise awareness of vision impairment and demonstrate how everyone can find fulfilment through gardens.
The asymmetrical yet balanced design reflects the imperfect beauty of the human face. The multi-sensory planting includes tactile and fragrant foliage, edibles, and whispering grasses, so it can be enjoyed by everyone.
