Dan Pearson OBE (born 9 April 1964) is an English landscape designer, specialising in naturalistic perennial planting. Pearson was brought up in an Arts and Crafts house on the Hampshire–Sussex border. His father is a painter who taught fine art at Portsmouth Polytechnic and his mother taught fashion and textiles at Winchester School of Art. Pearson was employed at a weekend gardening job for Mrs. Pumphrey at Greatham Mill Gardens, Hampshire, which cultivated his interest in gardening. Backed by his parents, at 17, he decided against going to art college and dropped out of his A levels to go to the RHS Garden, Wisley. This was approved by his parents and he became a RHS Wisley trainee on the certificate course. Pearson attended the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh for a year to work in the Rock Garden and the Woodland Garden and went on to complete the three-year Kew Gardens course. Following this he returned to his role maintaining Frances Mossman’s garden at Home Farm in Northampton. Mossman was the creative force behind Next and, later, George at Asda and at Wedgwood. Pearson also undertook student scholarships studying wildflower communities in the Picos de Europa, Spain, and in the Himalayas. More information...
