Libby Russell
Spear’s Review
Libby Russell established Mazzullo + Russell Landscape Design with Emma Mazzullo in 2014, after many years in practice.
The studio has grown into one of the UK’s leading boutique landscape design practices, working on projects ranging from large country estates to urban gardens, both at home and abroad, including Sweden, the US and the Mediterranean.
Notable work includes Russell’s own garden at Batcombe House in Somerset (featured in three books in 2025), a large Arts and Crafts house in Surrey, and a central London bank.
‘I am both a designer and a plantswoman,’ Russell tells Spear’s, ‘which helps me bring a detailed sense of precision and quality to my designs.’
