Lucy Willcox
Director of Lucy Willcox Garden Design
Planting Design Under £25,000 winner
If you could design a garden anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I love designing small and large spaces, so for a smaller one it would be another chic roof garden in London. For a larger space maybe a chic Moroccan hotel.
If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?
Listen to your gut instinct. Grab life by the horns, surround yourself with like-minded people and enjoy the ride as it goes so fast.
What would be the title of your biography?
The Sky’s the Limit.
One thing that would make the industry better?
More incentives to attract the younger generations. It’s the best industry in the world and we need to promote it more.
Who has been your biggest inspiration?
Piet Ouldolf.
What’s your go-to karaoke song?
Wonderwall by Oasis!
All time favourite film?
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

Crocus’ new resident garden designer Lucy Willcox is set to redesign Dorney Court, its first plant centre, alongside newly appointed head gardener Ashley Edwards.
Located in Windsor, Dorney Court is the first Crocus plant centre, with an onsite cafe and shop. Willcox and Edwards are set to concentrate on the walled garden.
An online garden centre with over 5,000 plant varieties, Crocus have grown and supplied plants for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the last 21 years. 2024 was announced as its last RHS Chelsea build.
The newest member of the team, Willcox has also featured in ITV’s new show, Alan Titchmarch’s Gardening Club. She presented short garden design masterclasses, similar to advice associated with her new role at Crocus to be posted across its social media platforms.
Founder of Lucy Willcox Garden Design, Willcox comments:
“What a privilege to be part of the Crocus team. I’m really looking forward to supporting Crocus customers and followers on their gardening journeys by simplifying the complicated world of gardening; from planting design to one stop shop pot schemes.”
Joined by Ashley Edwards, their “goal is to make gardening truly accessible for all.”
Edwards says he is dedicated to showcasing horticultural excellence in the reimagining of Dorney Court.
