Liriodendron, established in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2004, is an independently owned landscape design firm serving clients throughout Virginia and beyond. As Principal, Anne Henley
is a certified landscape designer, with over
fifteen years of professional landscaping
and design experience.
Liriodendron exercises progressive design principles rooted in classic garden design, modified to support the evolution of responsible ecological practices.
We provide premier consultation, drawing, and design services with an emphasis on comfortable and efficient site design, endowed with planting schemes that support a diversity of native flora and fauna.
Mediating the relationships among homeowners, businesses, local communities and site-specific ecosystems, we partner with clients in demonstrating better ways for gardens to nurture and celebrate the vitality of the Appalachian forest biome in which we make our homes.
We encourage clients to participate in the design process as they become increasingly engaged advocates for the land they inhabit; and we encourage inclusive collaboration among the team of professionals who contribute their unique expertise to the attainment of each project’s objectives. In the spirit of our interdependent existence on this shared planet during this exciting global transition, Liriodendron welcomes clients of all races, creeds, nations, and economic levels—each of whom can make an essential contribution to our collective welfare.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Anne for several years.
She has consistently given me insightful and sane ideas for beds, material, and simple construction (projects) for my cottage.
When we met, I knew immediately that she was knowledgeable,
had an excellent eye, plenty of common sense, an abundance of honesty and good ideas. She has been a pleasure to work with;
she has an easy-going manner, (with) soft spoken but clear options. When she says in three days or two weeks she means it: No putting you off. What more could you ask of a landscape designer!"
MRM, Ivy, VA"
Anne's plans show her ability to listen and reflect and then give us a plan that pulls everything together, using her knowledge of good design and of plants and how to use them. She has always honored our wishes for simplicity and good environmental practices, such as emphasizing indigenous plants; and she has broadened our plant horizons." KB, Batesville, VA
"We met Anne when we were putting in a small pond which required a complete renovation of the area just outside our back door. It was clear to me that she was an expert not only in the potential design, but also in what plants
to suggest, based on the rather challenging location of the area. Anne quickly demonstrated her knowledge of the plant types, potential growth, and most impressively, how they would compliment one another.
Anne's final design was precise and reflected exactly what we discussed as her final recommendations.
To this day, now six years later, we continue to receive compliments on the pond area and friends always ask,
'Who designed this for you?'" PT, Charlottesville, VA
