ASLA was proud to be front and center at the Cuyamaca College Water Conservation Garden Spring and Butterfly Festival on May 2! 🌿🦋

Representing our ASLA San Diego Chapter were VP of Community Outreach Difan Chan and Trustee Jon Wreschinsky, who presented “How to Hire a Landscape Architect” and “What is Landscape Architecture” to festival attendees and the general public.

A special thank you to Suzie Weist from Everde Growers for providing plants that were given away to festival patrons! 🌱

We’d also like to recognize our Climate Action Co-Chair Ashlie Zinn for volunteering at the booth and helping make the event such a success.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and helped showcase the value of landscape architecture to the community!
