As I approach completion of the few last classes in Landscape Architecture with a BFA in the Online Program, I am excited to soon be involved in the critical role that landscape design plays in our cities and urban environment. Growing up in a farming community in the Midwest, our family had a very personal relationship with the land which sustained our very existence. It is this relationship that has drawn me to landscape design with the desire to create these opportunities for connection to our environment in an urban setting.
