Jonny Bruce

Immediately upon graduating with a degree in History of Art from Cambridge University Jonny moved to Wales to become a horticultural apprentice at Aberglasney Gardens under the careful eye of Joseph Atkins. A year later he was awarded the Christopher Lloyd Scholarship and lived for two years at Great Dixter in East Sussex, working alongside Fergus Garrett before leaving for the Netherlands where he spent over four years with Hans and Miranda Kramer at the organic, perennial nursery, De Hessenhof. In 2021 Jonny returned to the UK and now works freelance as a gardener, writer and planting consultant. He travels widely researching gardens and landscapes, accompanied by his dog Frida and posts about his experiences on Instagram - @j.bruce.garden
