Melissa has been part of the landscape industry in Centre County since 2008 and is excited to join the Yonder Mountain team! As a Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturalist, her background ranges from landscape installation and maintenance to nursery sales and landscape design. Her hands-on experience allows her to design landscapes that are both beautiful AND functional. She believes each project should be a reflection of the owner’s personality and lifestyle, and enjoys the challenge of figuring out how individual pieces fit together to form a bigger picture.
Melissa completed her bachelor’s degree at Penn State where she focused on horticulture and arboriculture. She also has a landscape/nursery degree from Penn College of Technology.
