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 based in Bristol, RI,  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.
