A Guided Tour with Mark and Pete
Always popular, this will include:

• The stock beds, potting machine and Chelsea tunnels
• Hear the inside story on the two Show gardens we built this year and get a sneak preview of the gardens we will be building next year

Plus

• Specimen plants (not normally for sale)
• Loads of Bargains (eg Half Price Lemon trees and ex Chelsea plants) and
• an all day clinic with our Plant Doctors

4.00 pm

We close. The Show is over and we all go home happy!

Mark Straver have been behind every one of our 9 gold medal winning gardens at Chelsea. He is the third generation of (originally Dutch) nurserymen and so plants are in his blood. He is responsible for sourcing and nurturing all the show plants and is the main point of contact for any designers working with us. This means he has worked with most of the leading lights at Chelsea: from old hands Piet Oudolf and Tom Stuart Smith - to those newer to the game, like Luciano Giubbelei and Ulf Nordjfell, whose gardens we built this year.

Meet the panel!

Our experts will be on hand all day to answer your gardening questions, whether it's 'why does my honeysuckle not flower?' or 'what's best to plant in my shady border?'

All Day Garden Clinic with Helen, Steve and Pete

Our panel is a mixture of experience and enthusiasm. Helen is our resident designer and horticultural expert, she does all our planting plans, designs fantastic displays for big events (recently working with Anya Hindmarsh on a big event in London) and is the Crocus Plant Doctor. Steve is also a trained horticulturist and is one of our plant buyers, responsible for stocks on the nursery. Pete has no qualifications but has very strong opinions.

So there you go! It should be a lot of fun and there will be plenty of bargains! So please come and don't forget:

The important stuff:

• Directions to Crocus
• Dress Code: Appropriate for a working nursery (no stilettoes required)
• RSVP We'd love to know if you're coming, so we know how many teabags to buy.
