Tommaso del Buono with Clare Foster

Watch an evening of reflection on the career and evolving practice of renowned landscape and garden designer Tommaso del Buono, in conversation with writer and editor Clare Foster.

Tommaso traces his professional journey from his formative years working with Sir Michael Hopkins and Arabella Lennox-Boyd in the 1990s, through to the founding of his own practice with Paul Gazerwitz in 2000. The discussion is illustrated with a selection of key projects, from early, acclaimed London gardens to commissions across the British Isles and continental Europe, including work in Italy, Greece, and the gardens of Château Léoube in Provence.

A Chelsea Gold Medal winner, Tommaso also reflects on his 2008 and 2014 show gardens, alongside recent interventions within a tropical garden originally designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe. The conversation concludes with current Mediterranean projects and reflections on his own Suffolk garden and new work at Somerleyton Hall.
