Maximillian Parker-Smith
About
After graduating with a first in Creative Advertising, Max went onto study at the Inchbald School of Design.
Having received a distinction at Inchbald and an award from “The English Garden” magazine, the opportunity arose to take part on a garden design TV programme called the “The Great Garden Challenge, 2019“. This was a three stage competition where the finalists (Millie Souter & Max being one team) got to design a garden at the famous ‘RHS Wisley’.
In the recent years, Max had also designed spaces for the well known sculptor David Harber & also luxury furniture brand Indian Ocean at Chelsea Flower Show; both awarded 5*.
Max has also been awarded a Silver-Gilt at the RHS Tatton Flower Show 2021 in the Young Designers category and a Silver-Gilt at Hampton Court Flower Show 2023.
Based in South West London, Max works predominantly in the South East consisting of Sussex, Surrey, London, Kent and Hampshire.
Ethos
“The garden is where one can get lost and is happy not to be found”
Max combines full and luscious planting with a strong clean sense of design that is tailored to sit comfortably within its surroundings. The aspirations of each client enables every design to have a distinct and exciting outcome.
Max thrives not only on designing city gardens but also on larger country gardens.
