Brand USA and Trailfinders partner on RHS Hampton Court garden

Brand USA and Trailfinders are to showcase America’s landscapes with a themed garden at The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in July.

The America’s Wild garden will be part of the festival from July 4-9 and will feature desert, forest and prairie landscapes designed to showcase the diversity of the country’s flora and fauna.

Oregon and Charleston will also exhibit gardens alongside the America’s Wild display, while the US presence at the event will be further extended with performances from Austin musicians Natalie Price and Jo James.

Chris Thompson, Brand USA chief executive, said: “Our partnership with Trailfinders is a brilliant opportunity to showcase the wealth and breadth of destinations across the United States from mountains to coasts and forests to prairies – all waiting to be explored.

“This partnership marries our spectacular landscapes with bookable outdoor itineraries that take adventurers on a trip of a lifetime.”

Trailfinders founder and executive chairman Sir Mike Gooley added: “Given the breadth of natural beauty and holiday experiences to be had, it’s no surprise that the USA remains Trailfinders’ number one selling destination.

“Our America’s Wild garden, in partnership with Brand USA, will highlight the stunning diversity of this great country from East to West, whetting your appetite to book your next visit.”

Following the end of the festival, the America’s Wild garden will be relocated to the US Embassy in London and the American Museum & Gardens in Bath.

The trees of the ‘forest’ will be transplanted to create a new Aspen grove at the American Museum & Gardens, while the desert and prairie planting will be housed in existing collections at both venues.
