Tom Stuart-Smith: Finding a language - one garden designer's journey
The Sissinghurst Series presents respected landscape and garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith, whose award winning work continues to redefine what gardens can be.
Early bird tickets will be available from Friday 18 July until midday on Friday 1 August 2025.
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.

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.
