Noel Kingsbury : New ways with perennials. A broader look at a variety of contemporary approaches to using perennials: naturalistic, modernist, the Oudolf look etc.
Noel Kingsbury has been professionally active in horticulture since 1986, but had been a keen gardener as a child. The story of his ‘bunking off’ school on Tuesday afternoons to visit the Chelsea Flower Show has become something of a legend. The whole field of ‘ecological planting design’ also drew him into working with the department of landscape at Sheffield University, a world centre for the integration of ecology, landscape and horticulture. In 2009 Noel was awarded a doctorate for his research on long-term perennial plant at Sheffield University.
