Designing the Lush Dry Garden: How to Create a Climate-Resilient, Low-Water Paradise

Designing the Lush, Dry Garden by authors Cricket Riley, Alice Kitajima + Kier Holmes celebrates the extraordinary legacy of The Ruth Bancroft Garden, widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential dry gardens and a pioneering example of resilient, water-wise design. Created by self-taught gardener and designer Ruth Bancroft (1908-2017), the garden reflects an intuitive and experimental approach to planting, layering richly textured, sculptural forms with bold colour and climate-appropriate species.

Drawing on over sixty years of Bancroft’s collecting and cultivation, the book explores her enduring passion for aloes, agaves, yuccas + echeverias, and the principles that shaped her distinctive style. This is the first guide to present her methods for home gardeners and designers, offering insight into how thoughtful plant selection, structure and composition can create gardens that are both sustainable and visually striking.

Beautifully photographed by Caitlin Atkinson and featuring detailed portraits of twenty gardens inspired by Bancroft’s work, the book provides inspiration for creating landscapes that respond to their environment while remaining lush, expressive and deeply personal. A considered addition to any garden or design library, it is an inspiring resource for those seeking to create enduring outdoor spaces shaped by both beauty and resilience.
