Flower Market events florist Pinstripes and Peonies had two big displays at the 2026 Chelsea Flower Show, entirely created with flowers and plants purchased from the Market.

As well as a variety of cut stems, the two stunning displays incorporated 384 plants, with the plants later donated to a school garden that Pinstripes & Peonies sponsor in Nine Elms (more here). The first display was a ceiling installation located at the Flower Show’s Ranelagh Restaurant, titled: A Tapestry of Ecosystems: Land, Surf and Sea.

The Pinstripes & Peonies team were inspired by the artistry and innovation of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, with the restaurant design celebrating biodiversity. “We incorporated a vibrant tapestry of colour, bringing together the richness of meadows, rolling hills, and coastal ecosystems in one immersive experience,” said Pinstripe and Peonies’ project manager Sinead Mathew.

Hand-crafted willow structures, cascading greenery, and playful elements flowed from ceiling to bar to table, with colourful floral displays and dynamic textures creating layers of life and movement that reflected the interconnectedness of species and habitats. “We wanted it to be rooted in sustainability and local craftsmanship,” said Sinead, adding that the design championed community while offering Chelsea visitors a visually striking encounter with nature’s intertwining complexity, and vitality.

The second ‘tree’ piece was titled Ribbons of the Root Network (Maypole & Ribbons), an installation that centred on a tree adorned with polychromatic ribbons suspended from its branches, while flowing tendrils of planted flowers emerged from the base of its trunk.

“Together, they echo the way trees communicate and share nutrients through hidden networks, extending care and support to the wider forest,” said Sinead. “The design symbolised connection, generosity, and the quiet intelligence of nature, revealing how strength lies not in isolation but in the continuous exchange between all living things.”

The main foliage used in the display was ming fern. Within the flower beds at the base of the tree, the main varieties featured were Delphiniums, Campanula, Roses, Foxgloves, Geraniums, Peonies and Snapdragons in a rainbow of technicolour.
