London's first Chelsea Fringe Garden Festival will be held in 2012, to conincide with the historic Chelsea Flower Show. The Chelsea Fringe Flower Show is being organised by Tim Richardson. The aim, as with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, is to draw upon the creative energies of people from around the world. UK gardeners and landscape architects are expected to dominate the 2012 Chelsea Fringe but in subsequent years it is hoped that there will be contributions from everywhere. Chelsea has always been the world's greatest Flower Show. In future years it is likely to become By Far the World's Greatest Garden Show. Also, it will show how the ancient art of garden design can re-energise the comparatively modern art of urban landscape design. The dates for the main The Chelsea Fringe 2012 are from 19 May to 10 June.
