I am hoping to take the exam in August/September pending I pass Exam 2 in April.

I am on there all the time to get some new inspiration. I’ll have to look more into Measures and Dimensions and MagicPlan. Those might actually help out a lot on my next project! Thanks for your comment!

Maybe I need to write an article about the women in landscape architecture! I know on asla.org there is an article about them. Thanks for the great input!

I love reading and sharing things like this. I am still finding my way around the design field as a young professional and I love seeing how far women have come. Coincidentally, I came across this article in USA Today about women and making it to the top. Very interesting read! http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2…[Read more]

I haven’t been for about 10 years. Living in Las Vegas, Boston isn’t exactly close. But if I can swing it, hopefully I will be there later this year for the ASLA Conference. Thanks for the picture!

I’m not trying to mimic the job of ASLA, just was a little inspired by the lecture I went to and wanted to spread the word.

Each business is ran differently, so you can get a skewed perspective if you only visit one. What you ask is not a simple question, there are so many variables that go with it. I will tell you what convinced me to change, was seeing a project where kids were involved, and see their faces when they saw their…[Read more]

Thanks for your input!

Our landscapes for the most part are desert adaptive so that does help in water conservation. Thanks for the great feedback, I will keep that in mind with the next project. We actually just finished a project where we did this exact same thing!

It is slow going don’t get me wrong. On their website they have the interactive site where you can learn more about the profession at http://www.asla.org/design/ Every April there is National Landscape Architecture Month. And at least here in Las Vegas, the landscape architecture community is always up to something. I am…[Read more]

I have also come across where people don’t know what I do. Someone thought I was one of the laborers that hangs out in front of the nurseries!
