This beautifully curated volume showcases the work of internationally renowned designers such as Piet Oudolf and Sarah Price, alongside pioneering studios including Terremoto and Reed Hilderbrand. From striking rooftop gardens to sweeping wildflower meadows, the book captures the creativity and enduring allure of contemporary garden making.

Organised alphabetically by designer, The Contemporary Garden spans over three decades, charting horticultural, architectural, and artistic ingenuity from the late 1990s to today. The selection was overseen by Sorrel and Phaidon commissioning editor Victoria Clarke, and reviewed by an international panel of experts, including Richard Aitken, Michael McCoy, Paul B. Redman, and Annie Guilfoyle, who also contributes an inspiring introduction, reflecting on how gardens have evolved over the past thirty years and the profound ways green spaces shape our lives.

Guests are invited to arrive at 10.30am for tea and coffee, before the talk begins at 11.00am. A three-course lunch will follow at midday, served at shared tables in our glass-fronted dining room.

£170 per person - Includes tea/coffee on arrival, the talk, a three-course lunch with drinks, and a copy of The Contemporary Garden.
