The APLD® California Chapter's primary goals are:

  • to promote standards of excellence and professionalism in the delivery of landscape design services.
  • to keep landscape designers abreast of the latest information and developments in the field.
  • to partner with the green industry in educating consumers about the role and value of professional landscape design.

Whether you are a student of landscape design, a seasoned professional, an educator, or a member of an allied profession, we offer a membership category to suit your needs.

We invite you to attend up to two regular meetings before becoming a member. Chapter members are welcome at all District meetings and events throughout the state. Take your practice to the next level of professionalism.
