Will Bennett Founder

WILDEN Design is a new sustainable landscaping boutique revolutionising the way homeowners and renters in the UAE can regenerate the natural environment around them and inspire a positive impact against climate change. The company, which launched last month, takes clients through an innovative online design process, offering bespoke and pre-planned naturalistic residential landscaping schemes that showcase thoughtful consideration for the local climate through appropriate plant species and materials sourced locally from the GCC.

Award-winning Dubai-based landscape architect Will Bennett launched WILDEN Design to encourage people to foster and stimulate natural habitats that can thrive in the UAE, by offering clients inspiring, contemporary gardens created using landscaping practices that have a lower environmental impact.

“There is a huge movement globally to live sustainably and to regenerate landscapes for our shared benefit, and this has really inspired the ethos behind WILDEN Design,” says Founder Will Bennett. “My mission extends beyond designing beautiful gardens — I want to inspire people to connect to the nature that is on their doorstep in the most meaningful way that I can, by understanding the environment around us and by nurturing it. If we all start to take care of the little piece of the planet that we call home, this behaviour will snowball into helping to conserve and improve the wider world around us.”

WILDEN Design’s landscaping practices focus on using locally-sourced and manufactured materials, and plant and grass species that are indigenous to the GCC or from similar arid climates. Such practices help to minimise resources used in construction and maintenance, whilst generating strong, flourishing ecosystems in residential gardens across the Emirates.

Catering to a growing demand for online consultation, WILDEN Design provides clients with a seamless digital design experience through its website www.wildendesign. com, which employs innovative technologies to map out a client’s plot. Customers receive a bespoke landscape design according to their brief and budget or they can choose from a range of pre-designed thematic gardens that are customised to suit the required plot.

WILDEN Design makes well-crafted design an option for everyone and promises inspiring, environmentally-friendly landscapes for all residential outdoor spaces. A number of families and individuals residing in communities such as Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, The Springs and Jumeirah have already called upon WILDEN Design’s convenient online services to create thoughtful, naturalistic gardenscapes designed with sustainability and biodiversity in mind. A key aim of WILDEN Design is to regenerate networks of wildlife across multiple gardens, and whole developments, encouraging nature to connect throughout the UAE’s residential neighbourhoods, one home at a time.

“I believe that this kind of considerate behaviour — consideration for our planet — starts at home, encouraged also by parents passing such behaviours onto their children. If we can inspire a future generation to find joy in the nature around them — evident in a naturally thriving garden — then our planet will reap the benefits of these seeds that we sow.”
