Welcome to the sixth edition of Planted Unearthed.
In our latest edition of Planted Unearthed we talk to British landscape designer, horticulturalist, writer and gardener, Dan Pearson, whose work is characterised by an innate sensitivity to place and nature, an intuitive and light-handed approach to design set alongside bold and naturalistic plantings.
From Lambeth Green to King’s Cross to Chelsea, Dan’s work has helped shape some of London’s iconic spaces and seen him gain plaudits as one of Britain’s most-influential designers.
In the latest Planted Unearthed series, Dan talks about some of his favourite projects and how people’s desire to be close to nature could inspire developers, designers and policy makers to integrate more biodiversity into urban spaces in the future.
“The challenge for us now is how to avoid returning to bad habits.”
