Virginia Hand's first career was in graphic design, tackling a variety of business identity and publication projects, including book design. Her love of gardening led her back
to school, to expand her plant knowledge. Since 1997 Virginia Hand has been designing custom gardens with clients, bringing a strong design sense and passion for plants to
every project. She now combines her skills, dividing time between selected landscape
projects and garden-related graphic design.
