The Chelsea Fringe

This month sees the launch of an exciting new initiative – the Chelsea Fringe, a new festival of flowers, gardens and gardening  across London. Taking place from 19 May to 10 June, Chelsea Fringe is completely independent of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and promises to be a real treat of creativity and passion. With an anything goes attitude as long as it centres around plants, gardens or gardening, expect to see anything from grassroots community projects to avant-garde art installations. I particularly like the sound of the bicycling beer garden! In its first year Chelsea Fringe is being run completely by volunteers – so a big well done to all involved.
