RHS Chelsea Preview Speakers: Sophie Parmenter and Dido Milne

On Saturday 20 April Sophie Parmenter and Dido Milne will be joining the panel for our RHS Chelsea Preview to talk about their work to create The National Autistic Society Garden for RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024.

Using innovative and sustainable plants and materials, the National Autistic Society Garden will explore an autistic person’s experience, particularly the use of a strategy called ‘masking’. The term masking describes how autistic people consciously or unconsciously hide their autistic characteristics, in order to fit in and feel more accepted.

There is innovative use of natural material cork, and a strong ecological ethos runs through the garden, showcasing the circularity of regenerative systems and the interdependent relationship between natural ecosystems and man-made materials.
