Joanne joined Parklane in 2011 as a Landscape Designer. As she grew up in a family landscape construction and garden centre business in Ireland, she has an appreciation for the family business dynamic. Joanne completed a degree in Property Economics, Masters in Landscape Architecture and a certificate in Ecology in Ireland and has brought this knowledge and experience to Parklane.

Joanne worked in Ireland as a Landscape Designer and completed both residential and commercial clients and worked on the maintenance of an Integrated Constructed Wetland. Working as a designer, Joanne approaches all designs with an open mind considering the practical use of the space and  the clients requirements and budget. She considers the use of plants as an important aesthetic to a garden and encourages the use of native and naturalized planting schemes to ensure a balance with the ecology and environment of the garden.

Joanne is also a therapeutic horticultural practitioner. She understands the value of plants and gardens and how they can mentally, physically and socially benefit us all. Joanne encourages everyone to engage with plants, and acknowledges that even a small container with one or two plants can provide therapeutic value in our daily lives.
