In a previous post I promised to compare the plans of a few of the gardens with the reality by posting the plans and my photos of the finished gardens
Here is the RHS's own Greening Grey Britain show garden:
It's designed for an urban apartment block, with ideas for planting in restricted spaces, integrating everyday elements such as storage for bins and bikes.
I had difficulty getting a photo of this as every time I went past it was either being filmed in, or full of celebs.

The M&G Garden is inspired by a disused Maltese quarry.
Large limestone blocks are softened with grasses, evergreens and ground cover with the emphasis on protecting the fragile environment (both of Malta and Earth as a whole).
This looked very like its drawing:
The Mind Trap garden features metal walls, which represent both security and imprisonment.
It's a representation of living with depression, and the planting varies to reflect mood swings: shade-loving plants for low mood, and sun-lovers for more upbeat moments.
