I am writing a book on pruning called Modern Topiary.

It is nearly finished! I have tried to write the book I wanted when I started clipping topiary – so it is pithy, has illustrations, and tries to solve the problems you might have when making topiary.

Available by late spring 2025 (if not before!) and I will update this page when ready.

But if you can’t wait until then to learn about clipping technique, plants to prune, the best tools to use and the sort of shapes you can design then I made a video for Garden Masterclass. You can watch from the comfort of your own home here.
