Charlie is head gardener at Knepp’s walled garden and market garden. He comes from a farming family but trained as an architect. It was whilst working for landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith (who masterminded the design of the walled garden) that he rekindled his love of plants and the natural world.
Charlie then trained at gardens such as the Chelsea Physic Garden, before studying for the Kew Diploma. Returning to Tom’s design studio, he worked on the planting of Knepp’s walled garden and was so inspired by the tying together of both design and ecology that he moved to Knepp.
A film about the Knepp estate’s rewilding project “Wilding” is available on streaming platforms.
