Andy Sturgeon

About

One of Britain's most celebrated garden designers, known for sculptural contemporary forms softened by ecologically driven planting.

Andy Sturgeon is among the most decorated names in British garden design, with multiple RHS Gold Medals and a portfolio that ranges from private commissions in the UK and Europe to large public landscapes. The studio is known for mixing strikingly contemporary, sculptural design with an innovative planting style rooted in ecological considerations. Recent projects include a private garden on the Isle of Wight and a climate-resilient Mediterranean garden at Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire. Across the work, there is a consistent tension between the man-made and the natural — bold architectural forms set against planting that appears to have arrived by its own accord — with climate resilience treated not as a constraint but as a foundational design principle.
