elho’s biodiversity range wins Best Garden Innovation accolade at Ideal Home Awards 2026

Sustainable garden accessory pioneer elho is celebrating success at the Ideal Home Awards 2026, with its b’s biodiversity collection named winner of the Garden Innovation category.

Presented in London on 28th May 2026, the awards celebrate excellence across the home and gardens sector, with judges recognising the b’s biodiversity range for its combination of sustainable manufacturing, practical innovation and contemporary design.

Developed in collaboration with leading nature organisations, the collection includes nest boxes, bird feeders, bee hotels and insect homes designed to help consumers support biodiversity in gardens, balconies and outdoor spaces.

At a time when climate change and habitat loss continue to place increasing pressure on wildlife populations, the collection stood out for turning everyday garden accessories into practical biodiversity products, while remaining design-led, accessible and easy to use for consumers.

Made from 100% recycled plastic, the products are waterproof, rot-resistant and easy to maintain, while built-in drainage, ventilation and double-walled insulation help create healthier environments for birds, bees and insects throughout the seasons.

Judges also praised the range’s natural design and versatility. Available across three collections – cosy, essential and organic – the products are designed to complement a variety of outdoor spaces from balconies to larger gardens.

The award follows further international recognition for the range, which recently secured the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2026: Best of the Best, alongside an earlier win at the iF Design Awards.

David Nicholson, UK and ROW Sales Manager at elho, commented: “We are incredibly proud to have won the Garden Innovation category at the Ideal Home Awards 2026.

“This collection was created to make supporting biodiversity simple and accessible for everyone, while proving that wildlife products can also be beautifully designed and highly functional additions to modern outdoor spaces.

“At elho, sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. From using 100% recycled plastic and renewable energy in production, to designing products that genuinely support wildlife, the b’s biodiversity collection reflects our ongoing commitment to helping people create greener, healthier environments at home.”

As a certified B corp, elho manufactures all products using 100% recycled plastic and renewable energy, as well as backing the range with a lifetime guarantee. Reinforcing the brand’s wider environmental mission, 1% of revenue is also donated to local biodiversity projects.
