Melissa Marshall has been instrumental in the evolution of botanical institutions from insular collectors of plants to institutions and community leaders in landscape sustainability and wellness. Her work has helped set the bar for blending science, conservation and the public experience. She has opened doors to an increasingly broad audience for horticulture by creating welcoming gardens for all. Her 35-year practice has served more than 55 botanical institutions in 28 states, work that has stood the test of time. Her gardens remain as they were built, decades later: functional and beautiful.
