Join us for an afternoon with Tom Stuart-Smith, one of the most respected voices in contemporary landscape design.
With a career spanning public and private commissions across the world, from the Royal Horticultural Society’s flagship gardens to intimate domestic landscapes, Tom’s work reflects a unique balance between naturalism and structure.
His gardens are as much about ideas as they are about plants, shaped by an ongoing dialogue with art, architecture, and ecology.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a designer whose work continues to redefine what gardens can be.
This event is part of The Sissinghurst Series for 2025, a series of horticultural experts speaking on topical issues in the gardening world today.
About the speaker:
Tom Stuart-Smith is known for his deeply thoughtful and layered approach, Tom brings together horticultural knowledge, spatial awareness, and a subtle understanding of place to create gardens that are both emotionally resonant and richly textured.
