Spring Garden is returning for its fourth year at Chelsea Flower Show 2026 with two Michelin-star chef Jeremy Chan and Spanish maestro José Pizarro
Spring Garden, the immersive culinary experience that headlines the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, is returning for its fourth residency at the festival with two Michelin-star chef Jeremy Chan and acclaimed Spanish chef José Pizarro.
Jeremy is the co-founder of London’s two-Michelin-starred Ikoyi. Having been brought up in Hong Kong, Canada and the US, he brings a distinctive style that combines scientific precision with a multicultural palate. Once combined with José’s soulful Spanish cookery and celebration of produce, the result is a vibrant and creative menu, with each dish telling its own story.
Open during the RHS Chelsea Flower Show (19 to 23 May 2026), Spring Garden is a multi sensory journey, marrying horticultural beauty with culinary mastery in collaboration with luxury London caterer AP&Co.

Speaking about the event, Jeremy said in a statement: “I’ve always admired Spring Garden’s commitment to creativity and storytelling through food. I’m excited to join forces with José and the AP&Co team to create something new and deeply delicious.”
Chef José Pizarro, who also worked on Spring Garden 2025, reflected on the ‘truly special’ event, saying: “Last year’s Spring Garden was truly special. The energy, the setting, the produce – it’s the kind of event chefs love to be a part of. I can’t wait to be back.”
Speaking about why he chose to take part in Spring Garden 2025, chef José expressed how the event’s sustainability focus really resonated with him.
