Field notes on ecological Garden Design, Urban Nature & Food Forests
WASTELANDZ
Wastelandz is where the ideas behind the gardens begin.
These are the essays, observations and field notes that shape my work as a garden designer. From forgotten urban landscapes and food forests to garden design, photography and the relationship between people and nature, this is where new ideas are explored.
GROWING WILD: FOOD, FORESTS & FREEDOM
How reconnecting with the wild inspired a new way of growing in the city
HOW WILD DO YOU WANT TO GET?
This is a question I often find myself asking. On visits to new projects and when meeting new people, there is an inevitable moment when somebody might ask me whether they need a clipped lawn — and even the cracked concrete, full of wildflowers, has an ever-growing fan base. This always leads me to say, “Well… it all depends on how wild you want to get.”
Wastelandz
Childhood explorations, analogue photography, and the beginnings of a design philosophy. How exploring the wastelands taught me to see the city as nature.
