Max Harriman
Max graduated from the London College of Garden Design with distinction in 2017 and was also awarded the external examiner’s prize for his final project by James Basson.
Max joined the reputable design and build firm Bowles & Wyer soon after graduating where he worked on a range of high-end residential and commercial projects. Working at Bowles & Wyer also gave Max the opportunity to enter the Young Garden Designer of the Year competition in 2018 at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show. His garden, ’Calm in Chaos’, was awarded a RHS Silver-Gilt medal. The relocation of this garden to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge went on to win both an SGD and a BALI award.
