Nigel Dunnett is Professor of Planting Design and Urban Horticulture in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield and Director of Nigel Dunnett Studio. He is one of the world’s leading voices on planting design, and a pioneer of the new ecological approach to planting public spaces. His work revolves around the integration of ecology and horticulture to achieve low-input but high-impact landscapes that are dynamic, diverse, and tuned to nature, and is based on decades of detailed experimental work, and widespread application in practice, collaborating with a wide range of other professions, and his work has been widely applied in the UK and abroad.  Nigel’s aim is to develop, apply, and promote concepts that ‘infiltrate transformational nature in cities, everywhere’.
