RHS Sandringham garden celebrates frogs in first Norfolk-based show
The Royal Horticultural Society has announced the latest garden headed to RHS Sandringham Flower Show in July 2026.
Centred around all manners of amphibian life, frogs will be hopping into the show within the RHS Pollywiggle Garden designed by Norfolk-based Joe and Laura Carey and built by Neil Askew Landscapes.
The first RHS Flower Show to take place in Norfolk, Sandringham will host the garden that has been inspired by the restorations of north Norfolk’s unique pingo pools and the successful reintroduction of the endangered northern pool frog.
Making a comeback, Britain’s rarest frog was once thought to have gone extinct due to habitat loss and confusion with the non-native pool frog from southern Europe.
The Carey duo packs the garden with ideas on how gardeners can help to create more spaces where water loving wildlife can thrive in hot weather, as the country faces further climate concerns and in turn habitat loss.
“A garden close to our hearts,” explain Joe and Laura Carey, they add:
“We’ve so enjoyed seeing our own children out in nature spotting frogs, so we wanted to create a garden that inspires people to protect these often-overlooked creatures with a design that demonstrates that eco-gardens can still be aesthetically pleasing.”
The RHS Pollywiggle Garden joins the RHS Royal Legacy Garden as the run up to Sandringham continues. The show will take place from 22 – 26 July 2026.
