The Art of Outdoor Living: Reflections on RHS Chelsea 2025

With only two weeks to go until the gates of the Royal Hospital Chelsea swing open for the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the sense of anticipation is palpable.

As we do the final prep for this year, we’ve been reflecting on the highlights of last year’s show. It was a proud one for Italian Terrace, as our pots were chosen to grace some truly spectacular spaces.

Amongst other stands, we were delighted to be featured on the Country Life stand, beautifully designed by Isabella Worsley. Her “outdoor drawing room” was inspired by Italianate loggias—a theme close to our hearts—and our terracotta provided the perfect architectural anchor for that refined, lived-in elegance.

We were also honoured to see our work within Jo Thompson’s “The Glasshouse Garden” which deservedly won a Gold Medal. It was a powerful, immersive space celebrating resilience and second chances, and seeing our pots amongst her masterfully designed space was a highlight of the week.

To help with the growing excitement of this year’s fast-approaching show, here are some photos from last year to whet your appetite:
