RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 – The Asthma and Lung Breathing Space Garden by Angus Thompson

dpa was delighted to do the lighting design for Angus Thompson’s stunning garden, which won a Silver medal at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Sponsored by grant-giving charity Project Giving Back, The Asthma and Lung Breathing Space Garden is conceived as a restorative “breathing space” for people living with lung conditions. Accessible paths, therapeutic planting, and a tranquil platform for breath-focused practices come together to create a place to pause, regain strength, and reconnect with both self and others.

The garden will be relocated to the Breathing Space Lung Rehabilitation centre in Rotherham, supported by Asthma and Lung UK and maintained in partnership with the local community.
