BC Radio 2 and the
Royal Horticultural
Society (RHS) today
announce the
‘BBC Radio 2 Feel Good
Gardens’ at the 2017 world
famous RHS Chelsea Flower
Show, sponsored by M&G
Investments.
Gardens provide havens to
calm the body, relax the mind
and make us feel better. The
gardens will uplift the senses
and encourage people to lose
themselves amongst a feast of
sights, scents, sounds, flavours
and textures to make you feel
happier, calmer and generally
better about the world.
The five gardens will show how
plants can enrich and indulge
one of the five senses – touch,
taste, smell, sight and sound.
The gardens will also celebrate
BBC Radio 2’s fiftieth
anniversary and are named
after different BBC Radio 2
Presenters.
