Dr. Noel Kingsbury is internationally known as an innovator and writer in the garden world. He has worked on both private gardens and public spaces developing nature-inspired planting, and has written about garden design, green roofs and the politics of gardening. A great believer in using science to inform our gardening, Noel completed a PhD with the University of Sheffield in 2008. His latest book is 'Garden Designers at Home'. He lives and gardens in the Welsh Borders near Hay-on-Wye. Noel writes for the UK and US garden press and has written some 20 books, as well as taking on design projects himself. He gardens in the Welsh borders, where he looks after a four acre plot, mostly a semi-natural meadow but with lush borders of perennials and a productive vegetable area. Like many leading European gardeners he's very much in love with American prairie plants.With Tim Richardson he co-hosts 'The Vista Debates', a monthly forum for the discussion of garden and landscape issues, at London's Garden Museum.His most recent book is a bit of a departure, a popular science history title - the story of plant breeding, in agriculture as well as gardening. www.noelkingsbury.com
