RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist Tom Stuart-Smith will share insight into work at Chatsworth during private tour and talk
Multi award-winning garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith will talk about his celebrated work at Chatsworth during a special event in the grounds of the stately home.
Tom, a nine-time RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist, will give a private tour, talk and lunch in the magnificent Chatsworth gardens on Thursday, March 12, 2026, from 11am.


As head of a landscape design practice, Tom has been associated with Chatsworth since 2016. His practice worked on the Rock Garden and Arcadia and is consulting on the design and development of further areas including The Ravine, The Rose Garden, The Cottage and Sensory Garden.
The four-hour event at Chatsworth is in aid of Horatio’s Garden, which improves the lives of people after spinal injury.
Tom will talk about designing one of Horatio’s Garden’s most impactful spaces in London. The charity launched its fifth garden at the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre in the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore in 2020. Its mission is to open gardens in all 11 NHS centres to ensure that no-one has to go through a life-changing spinal injury and spend months in hospital without being able to use a Horatio’s Garden.
Tickets for the tour, talk and lunch at Chatsworth cost £141.56 each (including booking fee), available from www.horatiosgarden.org.uk/chatsworth26
