Meet Alistair Baldwin who has made Harewood House home to Yorkshire's first school of garden design

There can’t be many more inspiring places for a budding garden designer than the grounds of historic Harewood House

Garden designer Alistair Baldwin has a new school specifically to train designers for northern landscapes.

Baldwin, who launched a Richmond-based landscape and architectural design consultancy AWB Associates over 15 years ago, says it’s time for a school which teaches budding new designers of the future how to work in the beautiful terrain of the North. “I was really drawn to Yorkshire,” he explains . “There is an honesty and grit about the landscape and the history which I think should be reflected in the gardens.”

As we wander first through the formal terraced gardens at Harewood and then work our way down to the seeming wilderness of the Himalayan Gardens, it is clear Baldwin is in his element. “Harewood House has a history of nurturing classical landscapers and garden designers with its parklands and gardens, and I am incredibly excited to welcome guests and inspire them with Harewood’s beautiful landscapes.”
