'Atmosfloric is an absolute feast! Not only totally beguiling and full of practical insights but it opens the doors on some of England and France's most beautiful places.' Sophie Conran
'Sean's approach to colour is utterly refreshing, his words and photos are luxurious and sumptuous. He moves beyond the hackneyed approaches to colour and explores botanical palettes which create distinct atmospheric experiences of romance, energy and reflection. A true inspiration.' Jo Thompson
Atmosfloric
The garden allows us to play with colour. Unlike the colours in our interiors, colour in the garden is fleeting and fickle, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to experiment with a changing performance of colour month after month and to bring those colours indoors for constantly changing displays.
Colours are considered in three mood-based chapters: Romantic, Energetic and Reflective. For each chapter Sean reveals his favourite flowers to grow (with plant lists and inspirational planting plans) and shows them in a range of inspirational gardens and interiors.
As with Outside In the photography is by the author, who has photographed some highly sought-after gardens and interiors in England and France including the iconic Charleston Farmhouse and Kettle's Yard, plus the homes of Richard E Grant, Sam McKnight, Marin Montagut, Butter Wakefield, Isabel and Julian Bannerman and Anthony Watson of Atelier Vime.
Sean also takes a personal look at colour theory and explores the relationship that gardeners and gardener-artists have had with colour through history.
Sean Pritchard
Sean A Pritchard has a garden design studio based in London and Somerset. He came to his career in garden design with a background in fine art and brand strategy. Before setting up his design practice, Sean graduated with Distinction from the Garden Design School in Bristol.
Sean has designed show gardens at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival and, in 2025, he designed The ODD Pavilion at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
He divides his time between London and Somerset - where he lives in a 300-year-old farm labourer's cottage on the Mendip Hills, overlooking the Somerset Levels.
He applies much of his garden design philosophy to the decoration of the cottage, which he shares on his popular Instagram account, @sean_anthony_pritchard
Sean's first book Outside In: A Year of Growing and Displaying was published in April 2024.
