A new home for Filbert Press

F ilbert Press has a new website.

Ten years ago, Filbert was founded as an independent press for garden books: slow, carefully edited, and made with authors, designers and photographers whose work changes how we think about plants and place.

The list has grown over the years — Nigel Dunnett, Olivier Filippi, James Golden, Dan Pearson, Rory Dusoir, Roy Lancaster, Arit Anderson, Kenton Seth, Henrik Sjöman, Kevin Philip Williams and many others.

Our new site brings that world together. Twenty-one titles in the catalogue, with sample pages, awards and links to your bookseller of choice. Author pages with full bibliographies. Notes from the press — reviews, interviews, extracts and conversations, gathered as they come in. And The Filbert Press Letter: a seasonal email for readers who want to hear first about new books, essays and editorial notes.

We have taken our time with this. The site was built slowly, like the books — by a small team, with care for typography, photography and pace. It is meant to feel less like a shop and more like a quiet library you can walk through.

Anna Mumford, who founded Filbert Press in 2015 and shaped its editorial direction over a decade, and Folko Kullmann have known each other for close to twenty years. In passing the press on, she has entrusted him with carrying her work forward.

Filbert Press is now part of PLANTVS, a small independent garden book publisher based in Stuttgart. Same editorial direction, same commitment to long-life books, with more time and more hands behind each title.

Have a look around. We're glad you're here.
