Biography

Verney has many years’ experience of designing gardens and is a founder member of the GLDA. Since 1977 she has created hundreds of gardens all over Ireland.

Verney’s style is mainly informal and naturalistic. She enjoys working with rocks as well as other natural materials. Having a wide knowledge of plants, she specialises in the planting of interesting, all-season and low-maintenance gardens. Her aim is to create a balance between what is practical and possible against what is fitting and beautiful. She likes her gardens to look as if they have evolved naturally from the landscape rather than being imposed upon it.

Any project starts with a first consultation when she listens, looks and creates a concept. This can be followed by detailed scale plans. She can, if required, oversee the entire project from start to finish.
