Bunny has been designing gardens and outdoor spaces for over 50 years. She gained an honours degree in horticulture from Reading University and then went on to qualify as a Landscape Architect at City of Birmingham University where she was awarded a doctorate. 

Her main stream work has always been designing, she has won six gold medals from Chelsea Flower Show and worked on a huge range of schemes to parks and gardens in northern Japan, Thyme Hotel at Southrop, A Horatio’s Garden at Oswestry and many private gardens of a huge range of sizes.

Bunny has written for The Telegraph for over 25 years and been a regular panellist on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time for over 26 years. She has written several books including the best seller ‘Family Gardens’ and co authored with King Charles ‘Highgrove – A Garden Celebrated’. Bunny has her own YouTube channel where she visits gardens she has designed, gives tips on gardening and shows the gardens of many of her podcast guests. Her video on ‘Baseless Pots’ has had almost a million views. Her podcast ‘Bunny in the Garden with…’ is a fusion between Desert Island Discs and Gardeners’ Question Time where she visits guests, that are known for something else other than gardening but are also keen gardeners. Guests include well known rock stars, football players, cooks and authors.
