About the designer

Lorraine Johnson was raised in the States, but came to London after she completed her degree in Fine Arts/Graphic Design at Ohio University. After working in graphic design she became a book packager, creating many successful gardening and cookery titles for major international publishers.

During 1992-93 she achieved distinctions in the City and Guilds gardening program, which led her to garden design training with Robin Williams and Lucy Huntington. Since then she has designed both urban and country gardens in contemporary and traditional styles in both the UK and France.
