Project Giving Back Project Giving Back (PGB) was a unique and unconventional grant-making charity that provided funding for over 60 gardens for good causes at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 2022 to 2026. Launched in May 2021 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its devastating effects on UK charitable fundraising, PGB set out to boost UK-based good causes by giving them the funding and the tools to raise significant awareness of their work at the world's leading horticultural event. The gardens all live on in permanent locations around the UK where they continue to benefit the charities involved and the communities of people who use or enjoy them.
