President's Report

Baxter Miller, ASLA
Chapter President

This is the best time of the year as spring promises new beginnings and the hope that comes with it. As a profession, and especially as members of ASLA, we celebrate each April National Landscape Architecture Month.  For many years, it was lost on me that it was the month of Olmsted’s birth, I thought that it was a month that best expressed our green industry, the time when the fruits of our design work were on display, a jubilation of natures work.

Purchase a Frederick Law Olmsted Video

Frederick Law Olmstead Video

The video is based on Don Marquardt’s popular live stage presentation of Frederick Law Olmsted’s life and accomplishments, this 37-minute video concentrates on Olmsted’s early life influences, many failures trying to find a successful career, and then his providential partnering with architect Calvert Vaux and their wonderful creation of New York City’s Central Park.
 
This fascinating and frustrating project not only created one of the most popular parks in the world, but finally launched Olmsted’s glorious career – which he and Vaux named Landscape Architecture.
