Last week I went to Iowa City to attend the board meeting of our client, the Association of Professional Landscape Designers -- APLD. I wish I had gone out a day earlier to really enjoy this wonderful heartland city and see a restored tallgerass prairie. 
Judy Nauseef, president of the board and an Iowa City landscape designer, set up a field trip to Hardin Township Cemetery with Chris Henze the Johnson County Vegetation Manager who has restored this prairie remnant. The APLD Board approved an exciting line up of educational programs, sustainability initiatives, certification workshops and outreach for 2010. Mark your calendars now for the APLD International Landscape Design Conference Dallas September 26-October 2, 2010.
