Hello all.. Any plant buffs out there have experience with Panicum virgatum ‘heavy metal’ or ‘Northwind’ in the SF bay area?  Based on the zone specs it should be fine but my broker hasn’t sold too many of them and couldn’t comment on how they perform in the area… any help would be appreciated.

John, thanks for sharing.  Do you have any site photos, from these projects, that you’re able to post here?

If anybody here has done any public work involving raingardens in Florida let me know! Since I have been working for my firm here in Tampa we have completed 4 to 5 significant “raingarden” type projects; one of them being a LAP FDOT streetscape for Tarpon Springs. Public work involving stormwater management in a creative way is far and few…[Read more]

Thanks!

I am big into spaces for children. I have worked with children for many years and love to find ways to help them explore, develop, and get a little closer to nature. They are our natural scientists. However, I am also studying storm water mitigation and its connections to green streets. Am working to find ways to combine the two interests.

I am a design company that builds. I am extremely passionate about what I do.
My design style is definately contemporary, but will design more natural projects if required. We lean toward the more high end projects that require pool, structures and landscaping. Look forward to networking and learning more.
Brett Hatfield

My favorite projects are residential, with bigger budget. Contemporary style in the design and including the design of the pool and light.

Great idea for a group! I’m not in much of a position to offer advice but am eager to hear a discussion of this. I can say that since I’m also a planner in addition to an la (and have several times been the only planner on the office design team), I’ve always made a point to check my planning resources (web and old fashioned networking) for RFPs…[Read more]

What projects do you want to work on? What steps are you taking to find that type of work and work on it???

Who has a great strategy for finding work and getting it once you have found it???

Can I get some feedback on my current resume? I’m applying to graduate programs for next fall and can you use all the advice I can take on tweaking it. Thanks!!Brittany Resume Fall 2010.pdf

Christopher- The thing that stood out the most is your resume. Move your education down towards the bottom- below everything other than maybe affiliations. With it on top, above professional experience, you are making it look like it is more important than your actual work.

started a new Forum in this group where you can add your contact information. The idea is to have a page where the Spanish landscape architects can post their details (city, email, tf, and web page, photo, …). I post mine like example but is an open format. If somebody has a best idea to have an on-line page with actual information about us is welcome.

Mark, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to your old employer to ask for more samples. That employer could be very understanding of the circumstances “out there” and want to help you. – Who knows, maybe he will have just gotten a big job and will need to hire you back!
Good luck
