鈥婣nn-Marie Powell
Ann-Marie Powell’s multi-award-winning garden design practice has seen outdoor spaces as places with exciting possibilities for over twenty years. Based in the UK, her studio uses plants, bold colours and textural contrasts, to create garden habitats that invite an evolving ecology, instead of the traditionally decorated garden. Sustainability is a fundamental value of their approach; she and her team strive to design naturally energetic and bold landscapes to become havens for an abundance of insects and wildlife where clients live in harmony, up close and personal with the natural world.
