Naomi Brooks, founder of Verdant Landscapes, received Certificates in Gardening and Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden.  She then worked in a wholesale nursery and in the New York offices of world-renowned landscape architects Oehme, van Sweden & Associates.  

 

Upon moving to the Hudson Valley in 2000, Naomi began Verdant Landscapes as a wholesale nursery, specializing in plant material that thrive in our area.  After closing the nursery, the company now focuses on creating and maintaining New American Garden landscapes - sweeps of native and introduced plants that make a strong architectural statement while relating to specific house styles, sites, and regional motifs.
