When Lynn Wolff planted anything in a garden – a robust flower or something with a more tenuous future – she would stand upon finishing and address her work with a voice that was always poised to fill a room with laughter. “Good luck,” she’d say. “Do your best.”
She offered the same encouragement to people and projects she encountered while cultivating a lifetime of friendships and creating some of the region’s most welcoming spaces. As president and a principal of Copley Wolff Design Group in Boston, the landscape architecture firm she cofounded, Ms. Wolff created a portfolio that ranged geographically from the Wharf District Parks in the Rose Kennedy Greenway to the David Goudy Science Park at the Montshire Museum in Norwich, Vt., overlooking the Connecticut River.
The emotional scope of her work was as far-reaching. On Wednesdays, she arranged flowers that greeted the poor and homeless who gather at Women’s Lunch Place in the Back Bay. She designed a healing garden at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington and the therapeutic walking trail at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown.
