Flood Re will exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024. The aim is to bring its flood prevention methodologies to life and provide ideas and solutions for living with extreme weather events and managing water as an asset. Flood Re: The Flood Resilient Garden has been created in collaboration with designers Naomi Slade and Ed Barsley.

Andy Bord, CEO of Flood Re, said: “Gardens bring joy to so many of us, but they also provide an important first line of defence to flooding. With this garden we’re hoping to inspire more people to think about their flood risk and consider the plants and garden features that will both endure a flood and could also help reduce the physical destruction and psychological distress when a flood strikes.

“If flood resilient features and water storage capacity were to become a feature of most gardens in a neighbourhood, the positive combined effect would be enormous.”

Flood Re said flooding now affects 25% of UK homes and expects the figure to rise.
