MERRI LEE MARKS

As the founder and owner of MLM Landscape Design LLC, I have always been passionate about using the garden as a canvas for artistic expression through the combination of colors, textures, forms, and natural elements. For me, gardening is not just a hobby or a job; it is a way of life, a way to create living works of art that bring beauty and joy to people's lives.

I see gardening as a form of painting with plants, where each plant is like a brushstroke on a canvas, and the garden as a whole is a masterpiece that evolves and grows over time. I believe that the key to creating a garden as art is to carefully select the right combination of plants and natural elements to create a harmonious and cohesive composition.

As a skilled and experienced landscape designer, I understand the importance of color theory, texture, and form in creating a garden that evokes emotions and transports the viewer to another world. I strive to use the natural elements of the garden, such as rocks and water features, to enhance the overall composition and create a sense of peace and tranquility.

Ultimately, I see the garden as a place of inspiration and connection to nature. It is a place to escape the stresses of daily life, to find inspiration, and to appreciate the beauty of the natural world. I am passionate about creating gardens that are not just visually pleasing but also bring a sense of joy and wonder to those who experience them.
