Charlotte Harris, Hugo Bugg

Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

Charlotte's BA Hons in History from the University of Birmingham drives her approach to design, using historical, geological, and anthropological narratives and interpretations. She studied Landscape Design at Merrist Wood, while at the same time working on-site to ensure a clear grasp of landscape construction techniques.

Charlotte spent four years training at Tom Stuart-Smith's award-winning landscape architecture practice as well as planting seven gold medal winning RHS Chelsea gardens including one Best in Show.

In 2017, her first RHS Chelsea show garden for the Royal Bank of Canada won a gold medal. Inspired by the vast boreal landscapes of northern Ontario, Stephen Lacey of the Telegraph described it as "...a beautifully executed composition of copper, glacial granite, and airy layered planting..."

Charlotte speaks and gives talks regularly, is visiting lecturer for the Bartlett's Landscape Architecture department. She writes on design, planting, and on better representation and diversity in the sector.


Hugo Bugg graduated with a BA (Hons) in Garden Design from Falmouth University. He was named RHS Young Designer of the Year in 2010 and has won a series of Gold medals across the RHS Flower Shows including Chelsea, Hampton Court Palace Show (2011) and Tatton Park (2010, where he also won Best in Show).

At Chelsea, his win for his large show garden of 2014, 'The RBC Waterscape Garden', made him the youngest ever Gold medal winner at the show. He returned to Chelsea in 2016 with the highly acclaimed Royal Bank of Canada garden that was inspired by the beautiful Aleppo Pine forests of the north of Jordan. Hugo gives guest lectures and seminars and writes about his work for various publications. He is an RHS mentor for young designers.
