Fred Tiffin

Garden Designer
Fred came to garden design from a career as a documentary producer working all over the world in news, current affairs and sport. He retrained at the London College of Garden Design at Kew, graduating with a distinction and then began his career at Cameron Gardens before joining the studio in 2024.

He is an avid gardener, passionate plantsman and devout believer in the capacity of nature to cure the soul. He learnt his love of romantic, naturalistic gardens from his father’s rose collection and has a gimlet eye for good design. Today his designs draw on many years of travelling, having visited over 70 countries and counting. When he’s not in the garden with his dog Olive, he might well be found at Stamford Bridge supporting his other love Chelsea. 
Ferry Road  — new horizons for a heritage town


A masterplan for a historic market town 




An ambitious masterplan for a sensitive & historic site in the ancient town of Rye. Set within a challenging cultural context and a high BNG hurdle just as legislation was being introduced. It required close coordination with stakeholders, client and the broader team to realise a scheme that would marry the sites past context with it’s future ambitions. 

The newly legislated Biodiversity Net Gain requirments gave us an opportunity to interweave a fuctional ecosystem alongside generous amenity - a bioswale along the west of the site along with extensive tree planting and nature-rich planted buffers.

Scope included Masterplan and GA, Landscape Character Assessment and
extensive coordination with heritage officers and ecologists.

Planning has since been approved.
