Andy Sturgeon

I was researching planting design for my Sonneveld House project and this fitted perfectly. His designs are very contemporary and I feel very 'cool' looking, I've seen numerous of his designs at Chelsea Flower Show over the years, but isn’t until now I’ve really noticed, and his really inspired me to start understanding planting design... until now I’ve kind of been putting it off, I suppose this is really because I’m scared of it, I love plants and I love learning about them but it just scares me in the fact of how many there are.. And yes I know that sounds ridiculous but there’s just so much to get your head around but I’m finally feeling like I’m looking forward to planting design! :)

These images so a few of my favourite Andy Sturgeon designs.








"Andy Sturgeon Landscape and Garden Design has emerged as a leading landscape architecture and design practice earning a reputation for creating stylish modern landscapes that are a fusion of contemporary design and natural materials. Planting often features heavily and ranges from striking architectural schemes through to soft, naturalistic styles. Lighting, sculpture and furniture are frequently integral to the design."
