In-depth books about plants, gardens and nature

Filbert Press is an independent publisher based in the United Kingdom. Since 2015, we have published authoritative, design-led books on naturalistic planting, garden design and gardening with nature — written by leading plantspeople, designers and horticulturalists from around the world.

Our authors include Nigel Dunnett, Dan Pearson, Noel Kingsbury, Olivier Filippi, Roy Lancaster, Rachel Siegfried, Henrik Sjöman, James Golden, Arit Anderson and Jimi Blake. Their work has shaped how we think about gardens today — from the naturalistic movement and the Dutch wave of planting design, to climate-adapted horticulture, meadow ecology, urban biodiversity and the quiet craft of growing with the land rather than against it.

We publish for gardeners, landscape designers, horticulturalists and anyone drawn to the ongoing conversation between people and plants. Each of our titles is the result of years of practice, research and observation. We try to make books that are as thoughtful, as beautiful and as rigorous as the gardens and landscapes they describe — books you return to, rather than read once.

Our catalogue spans naturalistic planting design, dry and Mediterranean gardens, wildflower meadows, tree selection, crevice and alpine planting, cut flowers, mushroom cultivation, natural swimming pools, and the plant-based science of memory and mind. Titles have been translated into multiple languages and have received international recognition — including first prize in the European Garden Book Awards for Naturalistic Planting Design by Nigel Dunnett.

Since April 2026, Filbert Press is part of PLANTVS (plantus), the German plant and garden publisher — a partnership that brings together two independent houses with a shared focus on planting, design and the natural world. Filbert Press continues to commission and publish its own programme from the United Kingdom.
