Butter Wakefield

Leading British garden designer

Butter Wakefield has been a distinguished garden designer for over 20 years. In 2016, she established her eponymous studio, combining her expertise in interiors with her passion for gardening. Butter's unique ability to connect outside spaces with interiors has made her a sought-after designer, particularly known for her love of city gardens. With over 15 years of experience, Butter has crafted numerous inspirational and purposeful gardens of various sizes in London and beyond.

Her journey into garden design began at the English Gardening School (1997/98), where she completed the Year Diploma Course in Plants and Plantsmanship, winning two prizes. Butter further honed her skills at the London College of Garden Design (2013/14), graduating with a Merit Commended. Before venturing into garden design, she worked as an interior design assistant at Colefax and Fowler on Brook Street. Here, she developed a deep appreciation for scale, texture, pattern, colour, and the core principles of design.
