An award-winning garden display featured at the Chelsea Flower Show has been relocated to Plymouth.
The Silver Gilt winning “Pathway Garden” has been donated to Shekinah, the city charity based in Stonehouse Creek. The garden plan is fully sponsored by Project Giving Back, a unique grant-making initiative supporting charitable causes through gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show.

After the show, the garden was relocated to a permanent community space at Shekinah ensuring its legacy continues to inspire and support.
Shekinah worked with Modular, the garden designers, Pathway UK, the leading homeless and inclusion health charity and philanthropic organisation Project Giving Back.
John Hamblin, chief executive of Shekinah, said:
“We are incredibly proud to be part of this inspirational project. The Chelsea Flower Show offers a national platform to raise awareness of homelessness and health and inequalities and celebrate the journeys of those rebuilding their lives and health with dignity and purpose.
This partnership truly reflects what Shekinah is all about.”
The exceptional garden exhibit shines a light on journeys made out of homelessness to recovery and safety, and Pathway’s work on improving healthcare for people experiencing homelessness, ensuring they’re supported out of homelessness to better health and on to a safe place that can be called home.
Using sustainable design and powerful storytelling to represent transformation, resilience, and regeneration, the garden was created by Modular, a team of innovative garden designers, with people with lived experience of homelessness involved in the project from the start.
As a Plymouth based charity committed to supporting people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion, Shekinah’s involvement highlights the power of community, compassion, and creative collaboration in addressing complex social issues.
Pathway has an expert homelessness team in Plymouth who work very closely with the Shekinah Centre to help people access the expert medical care and support need.
