DESIGNS ON YOUR GARDEN Meet the 20 gardeners and landscape designers breaking new ground this year. By Sofia Tindall

ANN-MARIE POWELL
Hampshire-based Ann-Marie Powell’s work is instantly recognisable by its wild, loose textural planting style, encouraging wildlife and lifting spirits in droves. No wonder, then, that the RHS was quick to poach her for Wisley; her ‘living laboratory’ wildlife and kitchen gardens opened officially last summer. This year will see Ann-Marie continue her relationship with the flagship site, alongside her usual mix of private commissions. ann-mariepowell.com

ARNE MAYNARD
An ability to identify and draw out an essence of place, giving his gardens a quality of harmony and belonging, is the reason Arne Maynard’s clients flock from far and wide for his expertise. Allt-y-bela, his Monmouthshire home, is a striking ongoing example of the stylistic flair for which he has become best known; encompassing loose wildflower meadows, striking topiary and drawing inspiration from visual arts and crafts. arnemaynard.com

CAMERON GARDENS
Spearheaded by Alasdair Cameron, London-based Cameron Gardens has been designing gardens which inspire and recharge for over 20 years. Equally adept in city and country, one of its recently completed landmarks is a contemporary penthouse in Whitehall, with multiple roof terraces, a herb garden water feature and several outdoor ‘rooms’ overlooking the skyline. camerongardens.co.uk
