Harrods' The Fragrance Garden has been designed in collaboration with Sheena Sheeks as a elebration of perfume through the medium of flowers. Flowers appear enclosed in oversized laboratory beakers and test tubes on one side of the garden and reappear on the other side as giant paper balloons.
The garden also features augmented reality images on giant screens that spring to life when viewed through a phone or tablet.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer
In its first year at the Chelsea Flower Show, Breakthrough Breast Cancer draws inspiration from the genetic research funded by the charity. A stone pathway is based on the helix shape of DNA, which is crossed by pink planting. The garden's water pools are set to ripple every 10 minutes to represent the number of women that are diagnosed with the disease each day.
The garden's designer Ruth Willmott lost her sister-in-law to the disease in March last year.

Frost's planting palatte has inspired Homebase's latest plants and seeds range, the Chelsea Collection. The gardener first teamed up with the brand in 2013 to launch The Homebase Garden Academy – a programme designed to help Britain's young horticulturists kick-start their career.
Viking Ocean Cruises
The Viking Ocean Cruises Show Garden celebrates the launch of Viking's first ocean ship. The garden has been designed with a Scandanavian theme in mind, while moving water and polished surfaces represent the sea. An artwork installation appears like an ocean liner cutting through water.
To draw attention to the activation, the travel brand sent a trio of actors dressed as Viking gods Odin, Njord and Skadi to the show.
