Hank Jenkins: Plant Architect and Outdoor Lifestyle Designer

Lushland Design, Exterior Designer
Berkeley, California

Hank Jenkins of Lushland Design is a landscape designer and stylist bringing a fresh perspective to the garden lifestyle. With a degree in landscape architecture and a passion for plants, he considers himself a "plant architect" inspired by the physical architecture, color, texture, and patterns of plants.

The power of plants to capture moods and transport us fascinates him. Extensive global travel has further influenced his work through global design, architecture, fashion, and the natural world. He believes a resonant environment must evolve at a natural pace.

Formerly on the creative merchandising team at Flora Grubb Gardens in San Francisco, Hank now styles outdoor spaces, speaks about plants, teaches container gardening workshops, works on his next book, and develops an outdoor lifestyle series for television. He has been a featured guest on DIY Network's The Dirt On… and featured in Sunset and This Old House. He is the author of the newly published Sunset Outdoor Design & Build: Container Gardening: Fresh Ideas for Outdoor Living.
