A spectacular show garden will be flying the flag for the Isle of Wight at BBC Gardeners’ World Live at the NEC Birmingham next month (15th-18th June).
Designed by Platinum Award-winning garden and landscape designer, Lucy Bravington, the Ryde-based Liz Earle Beauty Co.’s Botanical Show Garden will feature perennial planting that showcases the botanical ingredients inside some of Liz Earle Beauty Co.’s skincare products, such as rosemary, lavender and echinacea.
The show garden features a central shell-shaped sculpture, inspired by the beauty of the skincare brand’s coastal home with its stunning landscapes and varied flora and fauna, and a Fibonacci spiral which represents the science-backed efficacy of the brand’s botanical-rich products.
Liz Earle Beauty Co.’s ethnobotanist, James Wong, will make daily appearances in the garden, sharing insight into the power of the plants found within.
Garden Designer, Lucy Bravington, has said:
“Visitors to BBC Gardeners’ World Live will be able to experience the fragrances, colours and textures of the plants included in Liz Earle Beauty Co.’s skincare range, as part of a modern country garden. The garden is a calm space with many links to the brand’s Isle of Wight home and we hope to inspire visitors to recreate aspects of the garden or enjoy the garden’s fragrances at home when using their Liz Earle Beauty Co. products.”
Rachel Poletti-Gadd, Portfolio Director – Gardening Division at Immediate Live, organisers of BBC Gardeners’ World events, said:
“The show gardens at BBC Gardeners’ World Live are always a sight to behold, with stunning new creations by leading designers and landscaping teams each year. We can’t wait for visitors to see – and smell! – The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Botanical Show Garden and to take inspiration from it back to their gardens at home.”

used to use Liz Earle products and could rely on them, until she left the company and they were sold. now part of Boots, i will never forget the day i went into their store in Ryde with my face blotched, swollen and very sore. I got sympathy but little help. whatever they add to their ‘botanical ingredients’ now, it is never going near my face again.
Shame, you had a great range Liz.
