Chris Harrop, Deborah Meaden and Andree Davies judged the entries and announced the winners of each category on RHS Chelsea Press Day at the RHS Experience stand. For 2025, the RHS Sustainable Excellence Awards have expanded to cover three categories, namely: RHS Sustainable Garden Product of the Year; RHS Sustainable Lifestyle Product of the Year and RHS Sustainable Business of the Year.

Winner of Sustainable Business of the Year 2025: POTR Established in 2023 by Andrew Flynn and Eilidh Cunningham, POTR manufacture flatpack planters that reduce emissions during transit up to 100 times thanks to the weight and volume saved. In the past year alone, POTR has collected, recycled and converted five metric tonnes of plastic waste from the UK coastline into its flatpack planters, removing harmful materials from the marine ecosystem and transforming them into long-lasting, self-watering planters.
Winner of Sustainable Garden Product of the Year 2025: Sneeboer Garden Scoop. The new scoop is made using cutting edge laser welding technology – a precision technique that reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional welding. The handles are made from wood components previously deemed unsuitable – a circular practice that reduces virgin materials while quality and ergonomics.
Winner of Sustainable Lifestyle Product of the Year 2025: MONC Eyewear. Up to 75% of the acetate used in traditional eyewear manufacturing is typically wasted. MONC’s bio-acetate is free from fossil fuel-based plasticisers, reducing reliance on petroleum-derived materials. Frames are presented in fully compostable mycelium packaging, and their mineral glass lenses significantly decrease plastic waste compared to conventional alternatives. Produced in micro-batches, MONC design, craft and repair eyewear with a circular approach.

The winners and shortlisted RHS Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Award products will be on display at the RHS Experience in the Great Pavilion throughout the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
