  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.).
 
Most of our members live and practice in the Portland Metro area, including SW Washington, but we also have members in the Bend, Salem, Eugene, and Seaside areas.
