Bunny Guinness, Chartered Landscape
Architect, works on a wide range of commissions for a diverse clientele.
Private commissions vary from tiny city gardens to large stately homes
while commercial projects span parks and public gardens in Japan to golf
courses, hotel gardens and shopping precincts in Europe. As might be
expected, budgets are equally varied with client implemented schemes at
one end of the scale contrasting with extravagant ‘instant’ gardens using
favoured contractors at the other.
Bunny Guinness’
gardens have appeared on many television programmes. Her Cypriot flavoured
garden won the Best Garden in the Series Award on Carol Vordeman’s ‘Better Gardens’, (winning the client a cottage) and a number of
her schemes were featured on ‘Guinness in the Garden’, her
own programme which ran to three series. Bunny’s own garden was featured
in Channel Four’s ‘Gardener’s Gardens’ and she has also
designed a Cooks’ Garden for BBC 2’s ‘Small Town Gardens’.
For the last five years she has been a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Gardeners’ Question Time’ as well as designing the
programme’s own garden (and potting shed!) at Sparsholt College. She also
writes a weekly column in the Sunday Telegraph.
Bunny’s principal business though is designing gardens. These range from user-friendly family schemes - see her book ‘Family Gardens’ to give you a flavour - to larger, grander affairs designed to complement and flatter more substantial properties.
People seeking Bunny’s help often find an initial day visit to be extremely useful. Bringing her expertise and professionalism to bear has enabled many a client to understand the garden they have and consolidate what it may become.
