John McPherson is the ‘Happy Garden Warrior’ behind Happy Gardens.
As we look to our outdoor spaces as additional rooms to our homes – places to increase our well-being – John’s approach is to design a garden with your happy needs in mind.
John studied Horticulture and Design at Plumpton College in Sussex. Brought up in Canada he has experience of a wide variety of gardens: from the suburban lawns of Toronto, to a wilderness cabin patch on Lake Ontario, to a balcony in London and – at present – a beautifully secret mid-century hideaway garden on the edge of Brighton and the South Downs.
John has extensive knowledge of design and visual arts arts and is a Relationship Manager at Arts Council England.
