A rainforest garden due to be displayed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show later this month is going to be housed at the Bristol Zoo Project.

The Wildlife Trusts' British Rainforest Garden is going to be used as an educational space within the zoo after it has been shown at Chelsea.

It is due to open in October and feature boulders and fern-lined trails, with a canopy of native trees created from hazels, field maples and silver birch from the show garden.

Garden designer Zoe Claymore said: "The chance to educate the next generation of conservationist and gardeners is truly a huge honour."
