Happy World Landscape Architecture Month! I bet if we polled people on what they thought the most important day in the month of April is, the majority would say ‘Tax Day’, April 15. I also bet that if you asked a landscape architect the same question, they may try to convince you that last week of April is where it’s at! Annually, we celebrate Frederick Law Olmsted’s (FLO) birthday on April 26 and Arbor Day (typically celebrated on the last Friday of the month) so it’s a week filled with design, history, trees, and the environment! Does it get any better?

This April 26, we not only get to celebrate FLO’s birthday, but it’s the big 2-0-0! Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about finding a cake large enough to accommodate 200 candles, but I do hope you all are able to do something to celebrate. Not that we need another reason to bookmark April 26, but it is also the last day to register with the Advanced Rate for our conference in Wilmington. So, if there is a day to remember this month, it’s not that your taxes are due on April 15, it’s April 26!
