Chelsea Fringe is a garden festival in London which is run in parallel with the Chelsea Flower Show. It consists of a variety of events and displays at locations across London. It was started in 2012 by Tim Richardson and is run by volunteers. In 2012, events included guerrilla gardening, a bicycle beer garden and oranges and lemons at Shoreditch.[1][2][3]

In 2013, the fringe expanded to about 200 separate events, with the core site being a pop-up park at

Ockendon Road, the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, and the Office Garden in Buckingham Palace Road.[4]
