Did you know September is Landscape Architecture Month in Manitoba?
Every year, the Manitoba Association of Landscape Architects compiles a growing list of events around Winnipeg to celebrate landscape architecture in the province. Keep an eye out for events such as PARK(ing) Day, which began as a grassroots initiative years ago in San Francisco only to become a world-wide phenomenon. On Fri., Sept. 15, artists and designers will take over several parking stalls at the Forks and convert them into pop-up parks for just one day.
You may not have realized that many of your favourite public spaces have been designed by landscape architects. A landscape architect’s breadth of work ranges from residential design to community parks and gardens, to large-scale developments and more.
