not sure…but could be. This is a county job and I would imagine most of the employees wear a couple of different hats.

I vounteer to be ‘point of interest!’
🙂

actually, I’m interested in creating makeover garden tv show, but I’m looking for point of interest of the show…
basic concepts of the show is how to create a garden from nothing become something for your home…it’s a kind simple show and host of the show must be team of landscape architect…

Since no one else will admit it, I will confess to subscribing to Sunset….not quite the ‘People’ magazine of landscape architecture, but definately eye-candy and its CHEAP. Yeah, yeah, plus the ones Jason mentioned except Metropolis. I like Dwell better.
