Barbara Peterson started the topic Land8 webinar – ASLA PDH record in the forum EDUCATION 4 years, 6 months ago
I took 3 of the Land8 webinars. I was on the ASLA website last night to finish watching a different LA CES recorded webinar and checked my PDH Record. Two of the three Land8 webinars were shown as “approved” for HSW and Distant Learning. But interestingly, the first one that I watched and passed the exam on (all were taken on the same day) was…[Read more]

Barbara Peterson replied to the topic Subtle Sexism in Design/Build- Need Advice in the forum PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 4 years, 7 months ago
Hi Catherine,
I literally just saw your post yesterday and like you, am surprised that no female LA’s replied. I also see that you have moved to another firm: seems to have been a wise move.
‘Yes’, female friends of mine (me included) have experienced either overt or subtle sexism or ageism during our careers. We vary in how we address it ……[Read more] -
Barbara Peterson started the topic Residential design programs in the forum TECHNOLOGY 4 years, 11 months ago
Working with a residential designer. (Haven’t done residential work in over 20 years) Currently we work in AutoCAD: don’t need anything “fancier” than that. What other programs do “you” use that can be used with AutoCAD that will produce 3-D images …not SketchUp (only need that on rare occasion) or Photoshop…..way back in the “day”, I think…[Read more]

Barbara Peterson replied to the topic ASLA needs to market us! in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 8 years, 9 months ago
Agreed. I am not suggesting recruiting. I do not like recruiting or attempts to convince people to enter any particular field. I agree that trying to “sell” someone on any profession does both that person and the industry a disservice.
But I do not believe that talking to young people and adults or answering questions about the profession is the…[Read more] -

ASLA (local, state and national) should do a better job at marketing LA but so should each of us. Remember, ASLA is made of people and if you are a member, you can suggest activities….
What have you done to “spread the word” beyond clients:
1. Have you signed up to be a Landscape Architecture merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts? …[Read more] -

Barbara Peterson replied to the topic Which has a better employment outlook? in the forum EDUCATION 9 years, 9 months ago
I’m curious: what ‘brought’ you into environmental sciences in the first place? You say that you want a career involving sustainability and design but was it a love of the outdoors, a desire to “do something good in the world”, or “what”? Perhaps by reflecting on your free time interests, you may narrow down which route would be best for you.
It’s…[Read more] -

Thanks. I’ll keep an eye out this summer.

Agreed. But in this case, “we” need to do a “ton” of scanning of older, needed documents that were never in a pdf format, and if we sent them out for scanning, we could have paid multi-fold for a printer or two.

Barbara Peterson replied to the topic Tree Irrigation in the forum DETAILS & MATERIALS 10 years, 4 months ago
I like the use of gator bags…when they can be monitored.
For example: last year, I installed them on around several trees at a property where someone had turned ‘off’ the irrigation system despite the severe summer drought. In addition to adjusting the system to it’s regular 2 week watering cycle (native plants), I added bags to the trees in…[Read more] -
