Ann-Marie Powell

Alongside heading her successful garden design business she started in 1999 after she gained a distinction in NCH Garden Design & Hard Landscape Studies, Ann-Marie Powell has authored three books on garden design and writes regularly for National magazines and newspapers including The Telegraph, Gardens Illustrated and The English Garden.

Ann-Marie Powell has also presented over 20 different garden design, garden history and pure garden programmes, including the BBC’s coverage of RHS Chelsea and prime time BBC2 series ‘The Great Garden Challenge’ which aired in 2015.

An experienced Chelsea exhibitor, described by the Editor of The Garden Design Journal, as “a TV and flower show ‘veteran’ in experience, not years”, her work was awarded a Silver Flora medal in 2011 and Gold in 2010. She is also an RHS Hampton Court Gold Medallist (2015) and was selected by the Royal Horticultural Society to design their own garden at RHS Chelsea in 2016.

Ann-Marie’s high public profile sees her regularly giving talks and lectures for a range of clients. She revels in social media with regular blog posts via her website and lively twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds.

Ann-Marie is also extremely proud, honoured and delighted to have been asked in 2016 to become a patron of Greenfingers, a charity dedicated to supporting the children who use hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating beautiful, well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with family, friends and siblings.
