RHS Badminton 2026: Girly Pop

Girlypop is our interpretation of the maximalist, hyper-pop aesthetic of late 90s and early 2000s femininity: bright colours, playful excess, kitsch decoration and unapologetic fun.Plants are often framed as calming and restorative, but they can also be joyful, energising and absurd in the best possible way. In the Girlypop Biosphere, we explore the place of girlhood and femininity within indoor horticulture, and how even the most over-the-top spaces can be softened, grounded and brought to life through nature.This bright, planted world celebrates bold foliage, colour, nostalgia and gaudiness. Visitors are invited to step inside a playful vision of indoor gardening where houseplants are not just peaceful, but expressive, uplifting and fun.

What the garden showcases

Girlypop Biosphere explores contemporary conversations around femininity, nostalgia, maximalist interiors and self-expression within modern plant culture. The exhibit challenges the idea that indoor horticulture must be minimalist or wellness-focused, instead presenting houseplants as playful, expressive and emotionally driven.

The design also reflects the growing popularity of immersive interiors, trend-led planting and social-media-inspired aesthetics, particularly amongst younger generations discovering indoor gardening through online culture. By combining dense tropical planting with bold colour and kitsch materials, the exhibit highlights how horticulture can intersect with fashion, identity, and contemporary visual culture in unexpected ways.
