He has worked internationally, creating technical installations for artists such as Louis Masai and INSA, and designing immersive environments for the Saatchi Gallery and Moniker Art Fair. His practice also includes socially engaged work, such as a V&A mentoring project helping newly housed people create furniture from reclaimed materials. Tomas brings this blend of craft, structure, and narrative to garden design. Applying the technical rigour of his own bonsai practice, he treats each border like a three-dimensional artwork, using structural pruning and precise placement to create atmosphere, integrity, and “instant age.” Contact --------- - [ tomasolesengardendesign.co.uk (opens in a new tab) ](https://tomasolesengardendesign.co.uk/) - [ olesen.design on Instagram (opens in a new tab) ](https://www.instagram.com/olesen.design) Recognition ------------- - ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/awards/rhs-silver-gilt-medal/icon.webp) Silver Gilt Medal RHS [ After the Rain ](https://gardensdb.com/gardens/after-the-rain) Gardens --------- - ![A lush, naturalistic garden border with a central puddle, vibrant green hostas, blue irises, and chartreuse ferns among rocks and grasses.](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/54738bf4-1644-474c-9acd-4e80012b4baa/conversions/PXL_20260509_131309235-gallery.webp) [](https://gardensdb.com/gardens/after-the-rain) Beautiful Borders ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/awards/rhs-silver-gilt-medal/icon.webp) Silver Gilt Medal Silver Gilt Medal 360° photo 360° photo available RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2026 After the Rain Tomas Olesen ![](/images/leaf_icon.svg) Gardens**DB** The world's largest collection of show gardens online, kept free, kept current, and shaped by the community that uses it.
