John Little
After 18 years looking after social housing greenspace, he has started carenotcapital.org, a ‘not for profits’ to train gardeners in everything other than straight horticulture.
In 2008 he launched a range of small green roof shelters including bike and bin storage.
John has led the way in Great Britain in thinking about landscapes that embrace disturbance, topography, and dead things. His emphasis on care not capital, designing with diversity at the forefront, and working with what is given rather than spending money on expensive capital improvements. He brings years of experience in implementing designs and caring for them afterwards.
Kenton Seth
Kenton Seth is a Fruita, Colorado-based garden designer who is addicted to the cutting edge: obsessed with regional flavor, long-term, sustainable and resource-saving designs, he specializes in native, xeric/dry, and habitat/meadow gardens. He makes rock gardens across the US and overseas, co-authored an international book on Crevice Gardening, and was the American Horticultural Society’s 2024 winner of the Emerging Professional award.
