Chelsea Flower Show's garden products of the year winners and where to buy them
Looking for the best garden products? We've rounded up all the top choices as voted by Chelsea Flower Show judges of the past two years.
One staple event of the show is the Chelsea Garden Product of the Year competition, which recognises the best garden products on the market at that time. The postponement of the 2020 and 2021 shows meant the winners for both years were announced digitally instead and we have all the results below.
To make the final selection, the best garden products are judged by a panel of experts, which took place virtually earlier this year. An in-person event is finally returning to its May slot and is coming up very soon, you can get Chelsea Flower Show tickets to see all the action close-up, including the return of last year's RHS Chelsea Floristry and Floral design competition and scout out the Chelsea Flower Show winners for this year.Chelsea Flower Show: best garden products
The winner of the Chelsea Garden Product of the Year 2021 was Ocean Plastic Pots which are made in the UK from recycled fishing ropes and nets.
The shortlisted best garden products from the awards list for 2021 were on display when the Chelsea Flower Show returned for its first autumn show in September last year.
In 2020, the winner was the Vegepod Vegebag, a garden growing tool that allows gardeners of all abilities to produce fantastic crops in small spaces all year round. A People's Choice winner, voted for by Chelsea's virtual visitors, was also chosen for 2020, which was the Wilstone Potting table. Sustainability and small-space growing were among the key themes for the contest in 2020.
Among the shortlisted and runner up best gardening products, there were plenty of eco-friendly buys, from sustainable garden twine to biodegradable flower pots. There were also plenty of innovative options for anyone working with a small outdoor space, from compact grow-houses to clever mowers designed with petite gardens in mind.
Below, we’ve summarised the winners of both years along with other finalists below and detailed where you can buy the official best garden products, many of which would make ideal gardening gifts for loved ones for just about any occasion.
