This year, we are sponsoring our first garden at RHS Sandringham. We truly couldn’t be prouder. Designed by Sophie Godber, Mindful Chef’s Gathering is a tribute to the joy of growing and harvesting home produce, with nature recovery at its heart. It reflects our passion for seasonal eating, and a vision for healthy cooking that invites a deeper connection to ourselves and the planet.
Full plant list
Featuring over 60 different plants, Mindful Chef’s Gathering is an extraordinary celebration of biodiversity.
