Luke Coleman

Landscape Designer | Horticulturalist
Luke Coleman has been shaping gardens and green spaces since 2017, when he founded his first soft‑landscaping company in Woking, Surrey. Working alongside RHS Gold‑medal designers from the outset, he helped realise and maintain award‑winning schemes across public, private and residential sites—experience that honed both his craft and his eye for detail.
To deepen his expertise, Luke earned an HND in Garden & Landscape Design at the Eden Project, then completed a BSc in Garden & Landscape Design with Horticulture at SRUC Edinburgh. He has since augmented his practice with hands‑on learning under Swedish plantsman Peter Korn, adopting Korn’s pioneering sand‑culture techniques for resilient, low‑maintenance planting.

Today Luke balances his Edinburgh‑based design studio with the original soft‑landscaping arm of the business, ensuring every concept is backed by practical know‑how and long‑term care. His recent portfolio spans his own commissions and collaborations with leading designers: he partners closely with Tracy McQue on projects across Scotland, helped plant Tom Massey’s Resilient Garden at RHS Hampton Court 2023, and was part of the team behind the Gold‑award‑winning WaterAid Garden at RHS Chelsea 2024.

A lifelong affinity with the natural world—nurtured on childhood holidays in South Africa’s floristically rich Western Cape—fuels Luke’s commitment to ecologically responsible design. When not tending clients’ gardens, he can be found exploring wild landscapes and studying untamed plant communities for inspiration.

From intuitive master‑planning to meticulous after‑care, Luke creates gardens that honour place, nurture wildlife and enrich everyday living.
