Landscape architects are gathering in Minneapolis and residential design topics are all over the schedule. Yeah!!
Please find time to tear yourself away for an hour and attend the Residential Design PPN Meeting at 9:30am on Sunday, October 8th. You will need to check at the Convention Center for the location.

Special Exhibit on Sustainability-Just for Us!!

I just got word on this juicy tidbit for an exciting feature to check out in Minneapolis. You will have to visit Sustainability with Style - the ASLA and Garden Design magazine LIVE residential demonstration project - Sustainability With Style - in the ASLA EXPO on Saturday and Sunday. Join designer Dean Hill, ASLA, host of the Do It Yourself Network's Grounds for Improvement, and explore stylish, elegant, and sustainable residential outdoor living spaces that bring kitchens, dining areas, family rooms, and even bedrooms outdoors. A must see for the latest in outdoor living elements including pavers, lighting, furniture, cooking and heating products, and much more.
I will share more information when I get it. The project is still developing according to ASLA staff.
