Designer Dialogue Series

Join APLD Certified Landscape Designers
for an evening dialogue on Certification
Thursday July 15, 5:30pm-7:30pm

This new APLDWA program series entitled ‘Designer Dialogues’ will kick-off with an interesting discussion on the APLD Certification Process: How, What, Why. APLD Certification offers the only State and National recognition for Professional Landscape Designers, and we encourage all our members to participate in obtaining this distinction.

During the evening we will be answering questions, reviewing submission packages, all while experiencing the setting of a lovely private garden in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of North Seattle; a garden that was submitted and accepted as part of an APLD Certification submission a few years ago. Enjoy wine, light appetizers and a lively discussion with the owners and other fellow designers for this casual summer evening event.

RSVP: Lisa Port, APLD, 206 383 5572 or via email lisaport@banyontreedesign.com

Cost: $10/Members or $25/Non-Members. Please pay at the door.

Directions and parking: Maple Leaf area of Seattle. Address and parking information provided upon your RSVP.
