THE HOLISTIC GARDENER
About
The Holistic Gardener offers nature-led garden design, soft landscaping, and seasonal care rooted in permaculture principles and traditional land wisdom. From wildlife havens and edible gardens to wildflower meadows and sacred spaces, I create landscapes that support biodiversity, soil health, and the wellbeing of people and place. Based in Perthshire and working across Scotland, my focus is on beauty, balance, and sustainability — gardening with nature, not against it.
About Me
I'm Brad Donaldson — a gardener, permaculture designer, and lifelong student of the natural world. I combine formal training (RHS Horticulture, Permaculture Design Certificate, and my Herbal Medicine Diploma) with hands-on experience restoring gardens in harmony with the land. My approach is practical, regenerative, and people-centred. I value the old ways, local ecology, and the spiritual relationship between humans and the living landscape. The Holistic Gardener is my way of helping others reconnect with nature, one garden at a time.
