Busy Week

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It’s been a busy week here at CDG.  Yesterday was our Central section AzASLA luncheon.  We had a great presentation on the history of the canal system in Phoenix dating back to the early 1900s.  It was really interesting to see and hear about the history of agriculture in the valley and how abundantly green the valley once was.

On another note, Boyd’s most recent column, The Week-ender, for Landscape Architect Business Magazine is now online.  This week, Boyd gives his thoughts on how improper maintenance can be detrimental to the success and sustainability of a landscape design.  Read it here.  We’d love to hear your opinion or thoughts on the matter here, so please comment below.

8.17.11 The Understory

August 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Today was National Landscape Architecture Awareness Day and we participated by supporting the Arizona Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects by passing out flyers and cards and speaking with people we came in contact with in city parks across the Phoenix area that were designed by local landscape architects. This was an exciting event that happened all across the country and was very successful overall.

For photos of our event, check out the AzASLA’s Facebook page.
For more information on The Understory visit their page here.

Even though it was very warm (105 degrees), we all had a great time and hopefully enlightened others about the field of landscape architecture.
