With an extensive knowledge of perennials, vines, shrubs and trees, Marcia paints each of her gardens with a plant palette that creates year-round interest through the layering of color, texture, foliage and fragrance. Her designs are founded on function, then form, and are punctuated by material choices, lighting, furnishings, paint & garden art to express your personal style, complement your home and reflect a sense of place. Her design process is an iterative creative collaboration between homeowner, designer and contractor to create a place of beauty and personal meaning especially for you. The distinctive result is a well-choreographed garden that only gets better with age! She has won awards for her work and been featured on local garden tours, including the 2011 Santa Clara County Bay Friendly Tour. Her awards include a Gold Medal and the CLCA Award at the 2006 San Francisco Flower & Garden Show and 'Best Use of Small Garden Space' in the Redwood City Mayor's Beautification Awards.
