BIGPLANTPOTS at the BBC GARDENERS' WORLD LIVE

Big Plant Pots Proudly Supports Pip Probert and The Greenfingers Charity at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2025

BIGPLANTPOTS was honoured to support award-winning garden designer Pip Probert at this year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2025, held at the NEC Birmingham, by donating four of our Tubby planters for her latest show garden – created on behalf of the inspiring Greenfingers Charity. As a company committed to quality and impactful design, we were delighted to contribute to a project with such meaningful purpose and professional excellence.The Greenfingers Charity garden at BBC Gardeners' World Live  was awarded runner-up in the People's Choice Award, according to the Greenfingers Charity. The garden, titled "A Feast for the Senses," celebrated the charity's 25th anniversary and was designed to be an immersive space for children, families, and hospice staff. It featured interactive sensory elements, quiet spaces, and opportunities for learning and growing

A Showcase of Purpose and Design

Pip Probert’s garden design drew significant attention at the event, not only for its thoughtful layout and inviting atmosphere but also for its clear message of compassion and support for the vital work of Greenfingers Charity. Our Tubby planters were incorporated into the garden as bold visual elements that complemented the planting scheme and structural features.

We were pleased to see how well the planters were received throughout the exhibition, with many visitors commenting on their vibrant colours, modern form, and exceptional build quality. Designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their visual appeal, the Tubby range is ideal for public gardens, private landscapes, and professional installations alike.

Supporting the Greenfingers Charity

At the heart of this project was the mission of The Greenfingers Charity – a national organisation dedicated to creating therapeutic outdoor spaces for life-limited children in hospices throughout the UK. These gardens offer children and their families an opportunity to enjoy time together in calming, accessible environments.

To date, Greenfingers has completed over 60 garden projects, transforming outdoor spaces into places of comfort, reflection, and joy. We are proud that our products could play a part in supporting this important work and in helping to raise awareness of the charity’s impact.

Working with Pip Probert

Throughout her career, Pip Probert has designed 42 award-winning show gardens at some of the UK’s most prestigious horticultural events. These include the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, RHS Tatton Park Flower Show, RHS Malvern Spring Flower Show, BBC Gardeners' World Live, Gardening Scotland, and the Ascot Spring Garden Show. Her creativity and expertise have earned widespread recognition through collaborations with both the BBC and the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).

Pip has featured on television programmes such as Passion for Plants on BBC2, regularly provided expert gardening advice on BBC Radio Merseyside, and contributed numerous insightful blogs to the RHS, often drawing from her experience creating show gardens.

In addition to her media work, Pip frequently delivers talks and presentations at RHS events and private engagements. Most recently, she led a series of design talks at the RHS Tatton Park ‘Grow Talks Theatre’. Her work has also been highlighted in gardening books and magazines, further reinforcing her status as a respected leader in the industry.

In 2020, Pip brought her talents to a broader audience as a featured garden designer on the television series Your Garden Made Perfect, where she showcased the impact of thoughtful garden design.

We were very excited at the thought of working with Pip Probert on this charitable project and experience first hand her talent for creating gardens that are both visually stunning and deeply functional. Her designs are known for seamlessly blending strong structural elements with intricate planting schemes. Pip’s professionalism, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail were evident at every stage of the project, making her an outstanding collaborator.
