Marcy earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in Anthropology with a focus on Native Cultures of the United States. She worked for 20 years as a museum curator and director, but changed direction and took her hobby and turned her personal passion into a full-time endeavor.
Growing herbs began in 1992 for Marcy after taking a class at an herb shop. She then started the Backyard Patch to market her herbs in 1995. Her programs have been listed as a "Best of the Best" in the Northern Illinois Library Association publication. Marcy is also a published author on subjects relating to herbs, both growing and using, and she is a regular contributing author to both The Essential Herbal Magazine and Wisconsin Herbalist.
