April is World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM).  Canadian landscape architects join their colleagues internationally to celebrate the profession.  One way to celebrate is showcasing landscape architect-designed spaces around the world through social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc.) by taking photos with the “Designed by a Landscape Architect” card and adding the hashtag #WLAM2016.

You can submit your WLAM photos to:

  • The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects CSLA Facebook [1] or email pictures to the CSLA Executive Director.
  • The University of Guelph – Landscape Architecture Programs UoG-Landscape Architecture Facebook [2] or tweet to @SEDRD

April is the perfect month to share our profession and reach out to our communities.  The month also coincides with Earth Day (April 22) and the birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted (April 27), the founder of the landscape architecture profession in North America.

Don’t forget to follow, retweet and share your fellow landscape architects posts with the hashtag #WLAM2016.
