About us
Verdemoor is a landscape studio in Bath, England. Since 2011 we have shaped more than 240 gardens across the UK, Europe and North America.
Our story
Founder Isla Marchetti trained as an architect before restoring a derelict walled garden outside Bath. Watching it return over five summers changed how she thought about design: the best landscapes are guided, not imposed.
Today the studio is a team of eleven — landscape architects, horticulturists and a dedicated build manager — taking on a limited number of projects each year so every client works directly with the people drawing their garden.
Mission
To create landscapes that become more beautiful, more biodiverse and more loved with every passing year.
Vision
A future where every private garden is also a small, thriving piece of habitat.
Values
We design for year ten, not handover day. Every plant is chosen for how it will age.
Local stone, regional nurseries and planting that belongs to the soil it grows in.
Hand drawing, careful detailing and builders we have worked with for over a decade.
Three years of seasonal aftercare included, because gardens are never finished.
What sets us apart
Our horticulturists sit at the drawing table from day one, so every scheme is buildable, maintainable and right for its soil.
