Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one  far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.
I have no qualms with the value and utility of your online course, I just find the asking price, far too steep and so would most…[Read more]

Sami, 
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’.

I’ll have to disagree with a part of the group comment, that one about Martha Schwartz. It is perfectly justified what she said about UK’s landscape Architecture and the impossibility of the Landscape Architects from UK to overcome some bad habits. She pointed righteously at back garden culture and I’d top it up with slavery towards public’s c…[Read more]
