Thank you for your interest in the Landscape Design Association. The purpose of our organization is to improve our skills in the design industry through continuing education, professional development programs and networking.

We hold meetings during the year, except for late spring and early summer. Our programs and workshops are on topics such as plant materials, hardscapes, design, technology, legal issues and other subjects that relate to the landscape industry. These meeting are held in locations throughout the metropolitan area.

In 2009 we are looking forward to an interactive design workshop, near north suburban garden walk and other great programs. LDA social events include a summer barbeque and winter party. Additional benefits of membership include a quarterly newsletter and annual membership directory.
