He has designed gardens, both public and private in North America, South America, Japan, South Africa, and Europe in addition to gardens here in the United Kingdom.

Visitors see how his unique approach is embodied in a broad variety of the gardens he has created over the past 55 years including his ‘Grid’ designs and his current work.
