Based on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central Victoria, Tim Pilgrim is renowned for his naturalistic gardens. With almost two decades of experience, Tim has developed a distinct style that blends the traditional and the modern. His formal horticultural training provides a strong foundation in hands-on skills, and a deep understanding of how plantings work in the real world. He is known for his emphasis on sustainable, considered plantings that are suited to local climates, and his plant selections are highly regarded. In his garden designs, Tim draws on the work of contemporary innovators and their ethereal styles. The outcome is a much sought-after naturalistic aesthetic, applied to the Australian landscape. A true plantsman, Tim uses his exceptional plant knowledge and natural eye to create immersive planting design. He has worked in some of Australia's most renowned gardens including the Garden of St Erth (Diggers), Sefton and Paul Bangay's Stonefields, and his work has been featured in Country Style, Australian House & Garden, The Design Files and Gardens Illustrated among other publications. Wild by Design is his first book.
'An essential book for anyone exploring the wilder side of gardening.' Paul Bangay 'Wild by Design contains some of the most succinct and disarmingly insightful definitions of naturalistic gardening that I've read anywhere. There's such a clarity of purpose here - in both the garden designs, and the writing about this broad and infinitely engaging topic.' Michael McCoy, The Gardenist 'Tim has very successfully synthesised some nebulous concepts into practical ideas. His modesty, candour, romanticism, intellect and art come through beautifully in his writing.' Simon Rickard 'One of the most useful and beautiful books I have seen on modern planting design in Australia.' Claire Takacs 'Through considered perspectives and carefully selected case studies, Wild by Design illuminates how beauty emerges from working with, rather than against, nature. Lovely reading for anyone seeking to create an authentic, place-based garden that nourishes both the land and the heart.' Jac Semmler 'Congratulations to Tim for bringing his joyous garden designs to a well-crafted and richly textured book. I recommend it to those with an interest in plants and reimagining their garden as both a place for repose and nature.' Fiona Brockhoff
