Dan Pearson is a British landscape designer, horticulturalist, gardener and writer who lives in a valley just outside Bath.
Having trained at RHS Gardens’ Wisley, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Jerusalem Botanical Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Dan has been practising as a landscape and garden designer since 1987.
His team works with clients around the world on projects from small, urban courtyards to urban realm landscapes, from rural estates, public parks and resorts to therapeutic, healing and educational gardens. The common thread is a shared desire to create beautiful environments which bring people close to nature and experience and grounded in an acute sense of place and a deep understanding of how natural environments affect human emotions.
Dan’s talk will reflect on public projects and reveal their sensitive, robust, and responsive approaches to landscaping urban environments and the impact of planting on places, people and planet. He will share his insights on how landscapes and gardens can be planted to become more nurturing and sustainable within a changing climate and through changing seasons.
