Will's styling notes
Will Williams brings his vibrant and fresh design aesthetic along with his horticultural expertise to Soto. He was the youngest ever RHS Young Designer of the Year and has gone on to win several RHS medals at major UK garden shows. Below he explains the thinking behind the collection.
Plants in this collection are happy in the shade. This border has Sweet Box which brings scent and structure, Astrantias which have standout flowers and Golden Dew grass which provide a feathery structure.
Featuring contrasting green tones offset with flashes of white, the Soto Green collection offers interest all year.
