Emily Martin recently graduated from Oregon State University with a bachelor of science degree in horticulture with a focus in environmental landscape and urban forestry.

Last year while working as an intern for Langley Main Street Association (LMSA), the 2011 South Whidbey High School alumna created a landscape for the Langley Library. It was designed to be low maintenance and drought tolerant.

She returned to the LMSA as an intern this summer and works extensively with the city’s gardens.

Martin’s parents are Sharon and Greg Martin of South Whidbey.
