Marisa Mercer is a planting designer based in the Pacific Northwest, creating romantic, naturalistic gardens with a focus on beauty and sustainability.

Mercer was raised in Hawaii and attended Northwestern University, where she studied journalism. After graduation, she worked as a writer and editor, then moved to the PNW, where she reconnected with her love of the natural world and trained as a Master Gardener. Studying locally and in the UK, she has now worked in landscapes for the better part of two decades.

Mercer approaches her planting designs as a gardener first, bringing hands-on horticultural knowledge. Her planting plans create a feeling of awe and sense of place unique to each site. They are inspired by the wild around them, but designed to be beautiful.

MMG collaborates with landscape architects, interior designers, and homeowners to create bespoke garden spaces that are dynamic, immersive, and engaging year round.
