About Matthew Pottage
Matthew is the Curator of RHS Garden Wisley, and was the youngest curator ever appointed in the history of the Royal Horticultural Society at the time of his appointment, some eight years ago. He is a regular panellist on BBC Radio Four’s ‘Gardeners’ Question Time’, and recently released his first book ‘How to Garden When you Rent’ with a desire to get more renters gardening. He sits on the Board for the Fulham Palace, and the Advisory Committee for the Chelsea Physic Garden. He has a passion for a wide range of ornamental plants, including conifers, hardy exotics, succulents and most things variegated! Hobbies outside of gardening include travel, cooking and hunting through antique shops.
Tom Stuart Smith at Altamont Plant Sales
Tom Stuart-Smith is a landscape architect and garden designer whose work combines naturalism with modernity and built forms with romantic planting. He read Zoology at the University of Cambridge before completing a postgraduate degree in Landscape Design. Tom has since designed gardens, parks and landscapes throughout the world.
Recent projects in the public domain include several projects at Chatsworth, a new public garden at the Hepworth Wakefield, and the masterplan for RHS Garden Bridgewater, which is one of the largest new garden projects in Europe. 2021 saw the completion of a new Islamic garden, Jellicoe Gardens in Kings Cross, commissioned by the Aga Khan Development Network and Argent, and 2022 saw the dramatic recasting of a garden by St Pauls Cathedral in the City of London which has a 100m² water basin at its centre, reflecting Sir Christopher Wren’s famous dome. Current projects include a new garden at Knepp Castle that seeks to maximise biodiversity, and a new landscape to Aldourie Castle on Loch Ness in Scotland.
