The American Society of Landscape Architects has announced that April 19-27, 2003 will be National Landscape Architecture Week.
"The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has proclaimed April 19-27, 2003, as National Landscape Architecture Week in order to celebrate the important role of landscape architecture in creating the special places where we live, work, and play. The week encompasses Earth Day (April 22) and the birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted (April 27), long acknowledged as the founder of the American landscape architecture profession. Public events are being planned across the nation, including student competitions, tours of local landscape architecture sites, and community improvement projects."
