Caroline and Peter Clayton, the sibling duo behind
Viriditas Studio, transitioned from careers – Caroline as a music video commissioner and Peter as an event director in the fashion industry – to pursue their shared passion for garden design. Both trained at LCGD, where Peter earned the top student award on the construction course.
In 2023, they were awarded an RHS Silver-gilt medal for their
Nurturing Nature in the City garden at
RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.

Caroline says: “I deeply believe that gardens have the power to be life-changing, and sometimes even life-saving. It’s incredibly rewarding to create spaces that serve a purpose, whether it’s fostering a stronger connection to nature or promoting wildlife-friendly practices.”
Peter says: “It’s also an opportunity to showcase the kind of work we love to do. Our style isn’t traditional, so designing a Show garden allows us to create spaces that truly represent our aesthetic and attract clients who are open to trying something a little different.”
