Emily Boswell, the founder of Wild Flower Garden Design, was born and brought up in the New Forest, Hampshire. Having completed a degree in Art and Animation, Emily spent 3 years in the Australian outback immersing herself in its flora and fauna, an experience which still has an influence on her professional design.
Upon returning to England, she gained 5 years garden maintenance experience before taking the Garden Design Course at KLC School of Design at Hampton Court. Then, having trained in the arboretum at Kew Gardens, she went on to work for a number of years at Petersham Nurseries.
She has had an active role in planting a number of award winning show gardens at Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows over the years, including:
Planting Consultant for African Vision: Malawi Garden, Hampton Court Flower Show 2015
Kiss The Sky Garden – Hampton Court Flower Show 2012
In 2012, Emily was selected to create a pop-up garden on the Southbank for Friends of the Earth to promote their Save the Bees Campaign.
