LAF at the 2019 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture
If you'll be in San Diego for the 2019 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, we hope you'll join us for these fun and thought-provoking events. There are three education sessions that LAF has organized or will be participating in this year. LAF will also be hosting our popular Annual Benefit at The Prado in Balboa Park and will have a booth at the EXPO where you can learn more about our programs and share your thoughts on how landscape architects can take action on issues like climate change and equity.
LAF will also be celebrating this year at Monday's professional and student awards ceremony where the New Landscape Declaration book will receive an Honor Award in Communications and at the President's Dinner where we will be receiving ASLA's Landscape Architecture Medal of Excellence. We hope to see you!
