Born to a family of artists, Marianne has spent her life exploring creativity in its many facets. In 1999 she discovered the world of landscaping and a new way of expressing herself. She received her degree in Landscape Architecture and founded her landscape company, Poetic Plantings, with the vision of creating gardens that would nurture the spirit and nourish the earth.

Today she works with G3, Green Gardens Group, managing 'groundbreaking' programs, teaching and spreading the word about watershed-wise landscaping, and doing all she can to shift the pendulum back towards a healthy planet.
