Eat Your Garden: Edimentals as a Beautiful, Low-Effort Way to Grow Food

Harry Holding is a leading voice in contemporary garden design and a pioneer of the edimental movement - the fusion of edible and ornamental planting. Since founding Harry Holding Studio in 2016, he has been named among House & Garden's Top 50 Garden & Landscape Designers and received multiple accolades from the RHS, the Society of Garden & Landscape Designers and other industry bodies. His School Food Matters Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023 won the People's Choice Award, earning praise from BBC Gardeners' World, The Times, The Telegraph, and Financial Times. In 2024, the RHS invited him to return and design their Feature Garden, further cementing his reputation as a leading figure in sustainable, plant-led design. Harry and his studio are designing a garden for RHS Chelsea 2026 in collaboration with the Eden Project.

Harry's work spans private gardens, public landscapes and international commissions, including a dedicated area of the new Shuttleworth Botanical Garden on the Isle of Man and an area of the new Eden Project in Morecambe. In 2025, the British Library selected him as one of ten international designers to contribute to Gardens of the Future, for which he envisioned a Future Food & Medicine Garden exploring sustainable community food systems. A regular tutor at the London College of Garden Design, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Harry is also a sought-after guest speaker on ecological design. Eat Your Garden is his debut book.
