Design

We shape atmospheric, abundant places that are heightened versions of nature itself. Each landscape begins with the specifics of a site, its architecture, and the way our clients want to live. Through considered design, we frame and amplify the setting, rather than compete with it.

Harry Holding

Harry designs landscapes of atmosphere and abundance: rich, layered places that feel like heightened versions of the natural world. He grew up in a family of horticulturists, trained with designers, contractors and nurseries across the UK and Australia, and founded Harry Holding Studio in London in 2016.

He is recognised among House & Garden's Top 25 Garden & Landscape Designers and Spear's Best Landscape Designers, with multiple gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show: the People's Choice Award in 2023, a Feature Garden in 2024, and a 2026 commission with the Eden Project. Alongside teaching at the London College of Garden Design at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, he is the author of Eat Your Garden (Chelsea Green, May 2026) and one of ten designers selected for the British Library's landmark publication Gardens of the Future.
