Reply To: Design/ Build Course as Graduate project

I did an internship at a D/B after I graduated and I learned a great deal that has helped with my designs. Not just on how to design a landscape so it can be built but how to do so efficiently. Then beyond that I worked for a large commercial landscape maintenance company and learned how to design so it can be maintained without great cost or headaches. 

If not a project with hands on building how about a lecture series by contractors and maintenance companies showing the steps they take to set up and complete projects. Or field trips to landscapes currently being built where students can see first hand how things go wrong and how to prevent them.
