I've participated in over 30 separate interviews with design firms for various Arboretum projects, and Missy remains the benchmark against which I measure the performance of all others.

What makes a great landscape designer?
I would say thorough knowledge of plant material; a willingness to focus on the client's needs and not the landscape architect's; willingness to listen; capacity to see the future; a sincere desire to produce natural beauty. Missy Marshall has these skills and uses them consistently.

I have enjoyed working with Missy for more than 30 years. She is a leader in her profession who has contributed profoundly and well to the beauty and utility of the many dozens of sites where she has worked throughout the nation.
