About the garden

This year's garden was designed by Robert Myers and celebrated the enormous impact the charity is making in beating cancer. 

Cancer Research UK garden

Thanks to our work cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 30 years. Millions of lives have been saved in the UK and across the world.

Take a look at our video and hear Robert Myers talk about the garden. Please note the background noice on the video is high, as the team was building the garden when we were filming there.

 

The garden was an elegant ornamental garden, designed using a combination of freeform walls, water, stone and plants with a large sculpture created by Simon Thomas as the epicentre of the space. See the full plant list.
