Kendra Wilson
Kendra Wilson is a garden writer with a background in visuals for magazines and newspapers, having cut her teeth at Vogue as a picture editor, and, after a graphics degree at Central St Martins, as the designer of Observer Food Monthly. During her WRAGs training at Cottesbrooke Hall in Northamptonshire (as a practical gardener), she began writing about gardens online and in print. Kendra is the author of a number of books, including My Garden is a Car Park and Other Design Dilemmas (2017), a book of the year for the Sunday Times, Wall Street Journal and Gardens Illustrated, and, most recently, Garden for the Senses (2022). Kendra’s most fervent interest is to draw attention to imaginatively conceived spaces, in which design and horticulture work with nature, rather than against it.
