The site showcases both students’ and alumni’s work, including designs by Bethany Williams and Stuart Towner, who won Gold and Best in Show at the Hampton Court Flower Show for their garden.
The Landscape Institute also provides a picture of what work is like in the profession by listing the kinds of projects landscape architects do and the types of clients they work with, in addition to providing interviews with professionals about an average day of work.
