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. 
Welwyn Garden City  — a strategy for a garden city  

Garden City principles in practise




Ebenezer Howard’s radical vision for a garden city, was for the “the beauty and delight of the country to be secured in perfect combination” - for the myriad benefits of the natural world to be woven seamlessly into urban living, for the enrichment of all. Today, these aspirations are increasingly relevant.

The development of the Wheat Quarter Masterplan places environmental stewardship, social-wellbeing and economic resilience centre stage.  We developed a holistic horticultural strategy, that considers the benefit gardens bring to both people and planet, is a key tool for realising these goals.

Across the site, we identified areas in which sound horticultural practice and ecology could enhace the scheme, leverging ecosystem services and creating a place that will feel alive with life, for now and the next generation.
