CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

:London, UK

Pavegen technology was the centre piece of a gold winning sustainable garden at the world’s most prestigious garden design competition. Designed by Kate Gould, and commissioned by London’s leading retail association New West End Company, the garden features two large Pavegen walkways which are enabling lighting, a fan and data in this beautiful setting. The system which also intergrates with solar, will be redeployed in London’s West End this summer.

Pavegen Powers a Gold-Winning Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show

At the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where the world’s top garden designers showcase their creativity, sustainability was brought to life in an innovative way. Pavegen took center stage as the focal point of a gold-winning sustainable garden. This groundbreaking garden was designed by renowned designer Kate Gould and commissioned by the New West End Company, London’s leading retail association. The garden’s innovative use of Pavegen’s technology not only impressed judges and visitors but also set a new standard for integrating sustainability into urban spaces.

The Challenge

The challenge was to create a garden that was not only visually stunning but also a model of sustainability, seamlessly integrating advanced green technology. Kate Gould and the New West End Company aimed to design a garden that could demonstrate the potential of renewable energy within an urban context, all while maintaining the aesthetic beauty expected at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The goal was to showcase how sustainable technologies, like Pavegen, can be used to power everyday needs such as lighting, ventilation, and data collection, all within a garden setting.

 

A Sustainable Powerhouse in the Heart of the Garden

 

Pavegen provided the perfect solution with its kinetic energy-generating walkways. Two large Pavegen walkways were strategically installed within the garden, capturing the energy from visitors' footsteps and converting it into off-grid electricity. This electricity was then used to power key elements of the garden, including lighting and a fan system, enhancing the garden's functionality while remaining true to its sustainable ethos.

In addition to generating electricity, the Pavegen system integrated with solar panels, further increasing the garden's energy efficiency. The walkways were also equipped with data collection capabilities, providing real-time insights into footfall and energy generation, which added an educational layer to the garden's design. This data could be used to demonstrate the impact of renewable energy solutions in real-world applications.

From Garden Showpiece to Urban Innovation

The Pavegen-powered garden was not only a visual masterpiece but also a triumph of sustainable design, earning a gold medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The innovative integration of kinetic technology into the garden demonstrated how urban spaces can be both beautiful and functional, offering a blueprint for future developments in sustainable design.

The success of this installation has far-reaching implications beyond the show. The garden will be redeployed in London’s West End, bringing sustainable energy solutions to one of the busiest retail districts in the world. This will allow the public to interact with the technology firsthand, raising awareness of renewable energy in an engaging and accessible way.
