James Alexander-Sinclair digs beneath the mulch with Mark Fane and Peter Clay of Crocus together with Tom Stuart-Smith to find out about their long collaboration at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This began with a garden for Chanel in 1998 and ends – for the time being- with their garden for the National Gardens Scheme and Project Giving Back at Chelsea 2024. Honor Reekie who worked with Tom on the 2024 garden will also share a few choice insights into the making of the garden this year.

Accessibility

Accessible parking for those who require it is available at the entry to The Apple House. There is step-free access to the building and all areas. However, there are many potential trip hazards and uneven surfaces that may be encountered whilst visiting the gardens, along with gravel paths that aren’t suitable for walking frames with wheels. Please be aware that due to the ongoing building works around the Apple House, there may be additional hazards to look out for.
