"Kingsbury's garden writing is among the best you will find in the English language." From the blog View from Federal Twist, August 2, 2009, James R. Golden
Noel Kingsbury is internationally known as a writer - about plants, gardens and the environment. He is also a teacher and lecturer, and is available as a planting designer and horticultural consultant.
Best-known for his promotion of what is broadly called an ‘ecological’ or ‘naturalistic’ approach to planting design, Noel has written some 15 books on various aspects of plants and gardens, two of them in collaboration with Dutch designer and plantsman Piet Oudolf. He writes regularly for Gardens Illustrated, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Garden, Hortus and a number of other publications.
Noel has been actively involved in the promotion of quality public planting for many years now. He undertakes consultancy work in the fields of garden maintenance and development, roof greening, facadegreening and collaborations with artists working in the public sphere. He writes a quarterly opinion column for Green Places – the public space journal.
In addition to working within horticulture, Noel is very keen that those with gardens and landscape engage with the world outside the garden wall – the worlds of art, society, politics, philosophy, economics, and of course the wider natural environment.
