Award-winning garden designer Rae Wilkinson puts sustainability at the core of her approach to garden design and the beautiful results speak volumes. In this episode she discusses how sustainability plays a part in her everyday life as well as her career, and how she went from studying art and three-dimensional design to environmental conservation before becoming a horticultural expert and celebrated garden and landscape designer.
Rae Wilkinson has an impressive portfolio that ranges from contemporary to traditional, from urban courtyards to large country gardens and landscaped schemes. Besides private residential projects, Rae also creates sensory care gardens, including the Eternal Garden for palliative care patients at Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals. Her design studio is on the Knepp Estate in Sussex, famed for its trailblazing 3,500-acre rewilding project.
