Adopt a plant from the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show

This innovative plant recycling scheme, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, has allowed several thousands of plants and materials from one of the world’s most prestigious flower shows to be rehomed.

By filling out a Wayward Plant adoption form, stating how you will care for the plant and where it will live, you will have the opportunity to rehome one of the plants for free.

During your visit look out for the show gardens our young volunteers have designed using some of the reused plants. The displays showcase the practical skills the young people have learnt through volunteering with the National Trust and will be an opportunity for them to hone their skills before creating permanent planting displays in the community spaces where they live.

The reuse initiative is part of the House of Wayward Plants, a long-term project run by Wayward that facilitates large-scale community plant exchanges and adoption events for unwanted plants. The National Trust is working closely with Wayward to co-develop a long term vision for the House of Wayward Plants.
