A pioneer gardener, designer and writer, she made "good" gardening popular, and by her example — both in the aesthetic and practical horticulture so admired at her home at Barnsley House, Gloucestershire, and through her serious, but highly readable, books - she also made it achievable by a whole new generation....Verey's work as a designer established her particular style throughout Britain and in north America, with the Prince of Wales, Sir Elton John and Princess Michael of Kent among her clients. In the United States, she designed for many private individuals, as well as creating a large plan for a new Kitchen garden potager (still to be implemented) at the New York Botanical Garden New York botanical garden.
