“The best way to sculpt a garden is to work with the bones of the landscape.”
Barry Jordan, 36, British
Upstate New York, USA
Garden designer Barry’s ethos captures a delicate approach to any plant. While he treasures foxgloves most, he thinks everyone should plant alliums—the easiest and most rewarding bulb there is. If you’re looking for gardening inspiration, he’d advise envisioning your backyard as another set of rooms, so sustaining a sense of continuity from your house to the outside.
Barry says: “Enjoy the slow nature of plant growth. The beauty lies in seeing a garden evolve over years as opposed to months, taking joy in the smallest of new buds. It might be a plant that takes a couple of years to bloom, or a tree that matures gradually before your eyes. Gardening is about patience.”
