Tickets for Chelsea Flowers in Stanford 2026

Tickets for Chelsea Flowers in Stanford are now live on WebTickets. Experience the botanical splendour of Leon Kluge’s Life after Fire Exhibit which won ‘Gold’ and ‘Best Exhibit in the Great Pavilion’ at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026. This exhibit is a  celebration of the unique fire driven landscape of the Cape Floristic Region, inspired by the fires which raged through the Cape during our most recent summer season. Now, the region is blooming again. Fire ephemerals, plants that only flower the season after a fire, are bursting from the soil in masses. Some have not been seen for decades. Leon Kluge's botanical display tells the story of fynbos regrowth and regeneration after fire, an ancient cycle repeated countless times across millennia.

This spring, Stanford will be in full bloom, experiencing a “superbloom” of rare flowers throughout the surrounding veld, and the opportunity to experience and witness the creative genius of Leon Kluge’s award winning botanical display, returned home to South Africa, for all South Africans. There is life after fire, and it is magnificent. Book your ticket now: here.

Chelsea Flowers in Stanford is a proud participant of the Stanford in Bloom village festival.All profits from ‘’Chelsea Flowers in Stanford’’ will go toward conservation and community projects of Grootbos Foundation.

Aren't we lucky to be able to actually see a replica build of Leon Kluge's exhibit at home on South African soil and in the heart of the fynbos landscape where these plants still grow in the wild?
