Join award-winning garden designer Tom Massey for the launch of his new book, RHS Waterwise Garden: Sustain Your Garden Through Drought & Flood.
Water is vital to a flourishing garden. In Waterwise Garden, multi award-winning garden designer Tom Massey explains how to design a garden that will use water efficiently, withstand drought and mitigate flooding.
With a changing climate, it can be difficult to know how to create a beautiful garden that is fit to thrive in an uncertain future. In this talk, Tom shares practical design and planting tips that will help transform any outside space into a water-absorbing, water-saving haven.
Published in association with the RHS and written in close collaboration with its science team, RHS Waterwise Garden explores why we must value water, how thoughtful garden design can build resilience, and what gardeners can do to be more waterwise at home. From enhancing the permeability of hard surfaces and managing water flow, to selecting plants and features that absorb excess rain, Tom Massey offers innovative solutions for gardens of every size.

Tom grew up in south-west London and spent his childhood exploring Richmond Park, with long summers on the Roseland Peninsula in rural Cornwall—formative experiences that sparked a deep love of the natural world. After studying Animation at the Arts University Bournemouth, he pursued a range of creative paths—from advertising and events to the renovation of a disused warehouse in Hackney, which he transformed into a co-working space and café. Drawn to landscape design as a discipline that unites creative thinking with tangible, nature-based outcomes, Tom trained at the London College of Garden Design, based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, graduating with distinction in 2015.
