Every garden needs a shed, but not many will have one as considered and well-crafted as the one being prepared for The National Garden Scheme Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year. Designed by architect Ben Stuart-Smith, son of garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith, the shed is being put together by furniture maker and woodworker Fenton Scott-Fielder and his team in Bristol.
2024 is a special year for the National Garden Scheme as we showcase the charity with our very special show garden at RHS Chelsea. Designed by Tom Stuart-Smith and fully funded by Project Giving Back it shines a global spotlight on our work and the wonderful gardens we open each year. If you can’t make it to Chelsea why not explore the inspirational gardens that open for us this summer – many with a Chelsea connection.
A new perspective of Tom Stuart-Smith’s design for The National Garden Scheme Garden at RHS Chelsea bringing the garden to life in full colour has been released.
National Garden Scheme garden owners are supplying plants for our RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden in 2024, exemplifying the spirit of generosity synonymous with the charity.

In keeping with an increased emphasis on sustainability, The National Garden Scheme Garden for RHS Chelsea will feature a number of recycled and repurposed items. Some, like the old tools that will be on display, were destined for the local tip before being rescued by the Hertfordshire based Sunnyside Rural Trust.
After RHS Chelsea, The National Garden Scheme Garden will be relocated to form part of a new garden for Maggie’s at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
