Our People

Martin Mosko, founder and principal, graduated from Yale University and has trained extensively with Japanese master gardeners both in the U.S. and Japan.  He has been building award-winning gardens in the Rocky Mountains and throughout the U.S. for over 30 years, which have been recognized for their unsurpassed artistry as well as technical excellence.  The firm has won numerous “Excellence in Landscape” Awards, has been recognized for its contributions to the built environment by the American Institute of Architects, and Mosko has been named one of “Ten to Watch” by Building Stone Magazine for his aesthetic use of stone. 

In addition to his responsibilities at Marpa, Mosko is abbot of Hakubai Temple, co-author of the book Landscape As Spirit: Creating a Contemplative Garden, and travels the country lecturing on garden design, the art of rock setting, photography, and meditation.
