## Resource

The RNIB gold medal award-winning Talking Books Garden at the RHS Sandringham Flower Show 2026 celebrates the 90th anniversary of RNIB Talking Books and the incredible impact that gifts left in Wills have on the RNIB’s work too. Award-winning Garden Designer Paul Hervey-Brookes has again worked on the RNIB Talking Books garden which in many ways brings the Library of the Imagination to life through the garden’s design. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Helen Smith, Head of Supporter Experience at the RNIB, who came up with the concept for the garden celebrating 90 year’s of RNIB Talking Books. The RNIB Talking Books Garden has been kindly supported by players of the Postcode Lottery through the Postcode Care Trust.
