The local chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), of which Annette is a longstanding member, gathered at the state capitol to inform people about the profession.
It also happened to be the birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted, considered the founding father of landscape architecture in the United States, so they placed a large photo of him on the table. Most people passing by, not familiar with Olmsted, thought it was a portrait of John Muir. In any case, having a black and white portrait of a bearded man makes you look a bit like a cult, but who knows. Maybe we converted someone to the Cult of Better Design. There’s always hope.
