Walter Bone, RLA replied to the topic LARE Florida Section F in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 1 week ago
I will be co-hosting the Florida Section exam prep course coming up next month in Orlando. I will be co-hosting with Mike Prevost, ASLA and will provide great insight on what to prepare for and what materials, particularly State regs, that you will need to take with you during the exam.
Good luck!

Caleb Melchior wrote a new post, How Can Landscape Architects Learn From Botanic Gardens? 1 year, 3 months ago
If you’ve worked in the landscape architecture field for long, you’ve likely noticed that landscape architects often struggle with plants. Plants are one of the primary materials in our palettes, but the […]

As a landscape architect who ended up as the director of a university horticulture garden, I couldn’t agree more. LA’s need to get more familiar with plants… I myself struggle to keep up with our collection, I don’t know how our horticulturists do it.

If you really care, you must be present when plants are delivered. It’s too common for nurseries to ship the wrong varieties just to fulfill an order, or possibly due to misidentifying the plants, but I think it most often happens because they don’t think you’ll know nor care.
The worst is when you don’t find out you planted the wrong variety until it blooms next Spring!

To be blunt I’ve never hired anyone without a BSLA degree. It’s not that those 4 years of college teach someone a craft that we couldn’t on the job, but it’s the initial litmus test about how serious someone is towards this career. It also strengthens the profession to have more people integrated into the academics of being an LA, eventual…[Read more]

We use AutoCAD, Adobe products, Sketchup, and Hand Drawn illustrations. Often times all within the same exhibit.
