Design the garden of your dreams with the expertise of award-winning garden designer Pollyanna Wilkinson.
How to Design A Garden shows you how to untap your garden’s potential and customize the design to suit you and your space: whether that be an extension of your living space for parties and al fresco dining or a calming oasis to relax in.
Equipped with all you need to know about light, focal points, hardscaping, and planting, you’ll have the skills to create a mood board, design layout, choose paving, furniture, and plant combinations. Polly expertly guides you to understand how the elements in your garden will work together as one – and she is not shy to share her opinions on certain design dos and don'ts!
Once you’ve designed your garden, month-by-month growing guides help you to nurture it, so you can enjoy your dream space for years to come.
Pollyanna Wilkinson studied garden design at the English Gardening School at the Chelsea Physic Garden, graduating with distinction. She went on to study Horticulture at Merrist Wood and set up her landscape design business in Surrey. Polly’s studio holds three RHS medals from RHS Chelsea Flower Show and RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. She has also won the coveted People’s Choice Awards at Chelsea in 2022 for Garden for Mothers and at RHS Hampton Court in 2019 for Naturecraft Garden. Her debut book, How to Design a Garden (DK, 2024) was an instant Sunday Times bestseller.
