Angus White

A ngus is the owner and begetter of Architectural Plants. Always with a design background, in 1989 he conceived the idea of having a nursery producing plants where the emphasis was always on their shapely and sculptural aspects - rather than just colour.

T he new enterprise was partly as a result of his burgeoning interest in the subject but largely due to his inability to find the plants he'd fallen in love with. To him, this was a natural progression from interior design (he was formerly a furniture designer) to exterior design. A visit to the nursery and its surroundings will give a good indication of what he likes. 'Bold, sometimes exotic but always shapely' probably sums up his approach.
