(Referenced from Long Beach Police Dept.) But you do have the right idea of getting more “eyes” out there. Hopefully real and not fake!

Yes, SketchUp is producing some pretty fancy graphics. But need more plants! Any suggestions?

As soon as “famous landscape architect” does not sound like an oxymoron, we’ll be in good shape! We need to raise the bar in regards to quality and public awareness, and to live the definition through action, not a two page description.
