The Association of Professional Landscape Designers® (APLD) was founded in 1989 as an international organization dedicated to promoting the highest standards for the landscape design profession. The Connecticut chapter, organized in 2009, represents APLD members living or working in Connecticut.
Our primary goals are:
- To promote the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in the field of landscape design
- To provide opportunities for our members to advance their professional skills and knowledge
- To enable our members to network with other landscape designers and green industry professionals
- To keep our members abreast of the latest information and developments in the field of landscape design
- To help educate consumers about the role and value of professional landscape design, in part by providing online resources for finding and working with local professional landscape designers.
