Exodus Adventure Travels scoops two awards at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2024

On Monday 1 July, leading adventure tour operator Exodus Adventure Travels, in collaboration with We Love Plants and Gardenlink, received Best Construction and a Silver-Gilt Medal for the Exodus Adventure Travels: The Sounds of Adventure Garden at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2024.  The garden was officially opened by renowned adventurer Ray Mears.

Designed by Nic Howard of We Love Plants and built by Gardenlink, the garden has been designed to reflect Exodus’ ethos of responsible travel and conservation. With plants from around the globe and raw recorded sounds piped through discreet speakers, the garden engages all the senses, celebrating the sounds and sights of an Exodus adventure. 

Earlier in 2024, Exodus initiated its Sounds of Adventure project, in collaboration with Cities and Memories and vocally supported by Ray Mears, who was present to unveil the garden and speak with onlookers on Monday. The resulting collection of raw recorded sounds from across the globe is designed to take travellers on a sensory journey across the world. It was Exodus’ research into the power of sound to evoke nostalgia and wanderlust that provided the inspiration for the Sounds of Adventure Garden.
