My name is Darren. I am a gardener who specialises in topiary and pruning.
I work on projects for gardeners, designers and landscape architects in the UK, New York & Hong Kong.
For free you can watch my ‘Topiary Provocations’ at Garden Masterclass, or download and share my book ‘Modern Topiary’.
The basics of clipping can be learnt in this video ‘The Modern Topiarist’.
Read my thoughts on Modern Topiary in Gardenista or see pruning work in The Guardian. I’ve discussed the best secateurs to use in The Telegraph.
My work renovating the topiary at Gertrude Jekyll’s Munstead Wood garden for the National Trust is on the BBC.
Finally, I share practical skills in workshops for The European Boxwood & Topiary Society & teach at The English Gardening School in Chelsea.
