The Executive Committee of the BSLA wishes everyone happy and safe holidays and a very joyous and rewarding 2010. BSLA Shadow-A-Professional Day During the weeks of March 15-19 and March 22-26, the BSLA will pair students with local practitioners for a day providing a personal, one-on-one viewing of what a local landscape architect does. We need volunteers to host a student on one of those days at office. For the best experience, students will be exposed to the numerous aspects of a professional's day, such as client meetings, site visits, project meetings, plan revisions, etc. Whether it be over lunch or during the course of the day, providing your insights as to the realities of being in an office would also be quite helpful to your future colleagues. There is already significant interest from students in this program and we would like to provide a host for each student. Please sign up at www.surveymonkey.com/s/QY83JB7 by January 19. When an assignment is made, you and the student will receive an email with each other's contact information so that you can finalize the details for this exciting program to our local landscape architecture students. You will receive confirmation of an assignment the first week of March. Build Boston 2009 If you are interested in developing a presentation or participating on a panel where you can share special expertise, let us hear from you. Send your name and interests to the Chapter Office. Build Boston is a wonderful way to showcase what area LA’S offer to the building community.

January 19, 2010 Tickets $20 member, $25 nonmember One of the most important and influential landscape designers working today, Dan will demonstrate his design process, in which he extrapolates on the spirit of place as it emerges through geography, history, architecture and native flora. Dan will explain how he believes landscapes—both wild and designed—speak to us, how human interventions in the landscape can animate and inform, and how they can serve to memorialize and to heal. Dan trained at Wisley, a Royal Horticultural Society garden, and at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He is a weekly gardening columnist for The Observer, before which he was a columnist for The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times. He is co-author of The Essential Garden Book (with Sir Terence Conran) and author of The Garden: A Year at Home Farm.
