The University of Leeds exhibited for the first time at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012. Our stand was in the RHS Environment section of the Great Pavilion. As the theme for RHS Environment 2012 was urban greening, we emphasised the many benefits of urban environments by encouraging all gardeners to become urban ecosystem services champions.
This website supports the Chelsea exhibit and provides more information on how you can boost the ecosystem services of your garden.
