HOME > About Us

Our local Chapter is made up of volunteers who dedicate their time to promoting the field of landscape design in Oregon and SW Washington. We are also working hard to educate the public about the benefits of hiring landscape designers, and to promote the Certification process to our members and to the public.

Our Chapter membership includes Certified members, Associate members (non-Certified landscape designers) and Allied members (working in related green industries, such as nurseries, landscape contracting, supplies, etc.).

Our members agree to abide by APLD's "Standards of Practice" which promote the highest degree of professionalism in the landscape design field.
