Homegrown Tomatoes - Delicious x

This one took me straight back.

My own memory is my grandfather’s garden. The smell of tomatoes in his greenhouse, the richness of the lawn, bright flower beds, and all that intricate equipment that felt enormous as a child. I used to build forts from piles of wooden seed crates and disappear into them for hours.

Kitti Kovacs Garden Design is creating the “100 Sweet Summers” show garden for the RHS Sandringham Flower Show 2026, shaped by memories like these.

I’m proud to be providing the photography for the garden, and it feels like a genuinely thoughtful idea, connecting personal stories with a physical space.

If you have a memory like this, Kitti is gathering them in a single sentence (max 20 words). A few will become part of the garden itself.
