Help for Heroes

B&Q is proud to be supporting the design and build of a garden at three prestigious garden shows this summer to raise funds and awareness for the charity Help for Heroes.

our garden

The Road to Recovery Garden, in support of Help for Heroes, will depict our heroes' journey from helicopter to hospital to home.

The garden, designed and built by Birmingham City Council will include the spectacle of a Chinook helicopter as if about to land suspended 3.75 metres in the air, it will rise above a 'hospital retreat' garden and a 'grow your own' home garden.

See the garden at the following locations this year:

  • RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London:
    25-29 May
  • BBC Gardeners' World Live at NEC, Birmingham:
    16-20 June
  • Birmingham Garden Show, Kings Heath Park, Birmingham:
    4 -5 September
