Anne Wareham
I am a garden writer, editor of the website thinkinGardens,contributing editor at Garden Rant, and I write on Substack.
I appeared on television as a judge in the series ‘Britain’s Best Home and Garden’ on Channel 5 and Tim Richardson included me in his list of most influential British gardeners in the Telegraph.
I have been campaigning for the past forty years for a renaissance in British gardens, focusing on encouraging serious reviews of gardens and on returning gardens to their place amongst the fine arts in British culture.
My first book, The Bad Tempered Gardener was published in May 2011 by Frances Lincoln and is now out of print, but available as an ebook.
My second came out in April 2015: Outwitting Squirrels, and IS a best seller. (Over 50 thousand copies sold by the end of 2023).

Apart from helping Anne make our garden, I have been taking photographs of gardens and plants professionally since 1999. I am a member of the Garden Media Guild and Professional Garden Photographers Association.
My work is feature-led; I photograph gardens and nurseries for articles in magazines and newspapers. My work has appeared in many gardening and lifestyle magazines in the UK and in mainland Europe.
My first book, ‘Discovering Welsh Gardens’ written by Stephen Anderton, was published in 2009 and contains over 300 images from 20 gardens in Wales; it was a finalist in the GMG awards in the category “Book Photographer of the Year”.
I provided all the photographs for The Bad Tempered Gardener by Anne Wareham which was published by Frances Lincoln in May 2011.
I have over 10,000 images placed with GAP Photos who represent my stock pictures of plants, flowers and garden features. I also have over 7,000 images with Getty images which mostly draw on my walking trips in the UK and Europe.
And – I have a walking blog, with more great photographs and entertaining accounts of my walks.
