AI meets nature at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 

The Avanade Intelligent Garden is designed to support the plight of urban trees. They filter air pollution, cool the air, support wildlife, and boost community wellbeing – yet they face immense challenges due to climate change. We want to explore how technology like AI can be a positive force to help support urban trees and their custodians.

Our journey  

Building a garden for RHS Chelsea—the world’s most prestigious garden show—is no easy task. It requires a top-notch team, careful planning and a blend of art and technology to meet the high standards of the judges and captivate the public.
