In United States, about one out of four landscape designers has their own business. These self employed designers are responsible to provide landscape architectural, engineering and landscaping services to public as well as private sector. Setting up business in this particular field is not hard as long as you have the right strategy. Here are some useful tips for those who would like to get involved in this line.
Step 1:
Pursue an accredited degree program in landscape architecture in a university. At the same time, attend classes in computer aided design (CAD).
Step 2:
Get more detailed information related to the job scopes and duties of landscape architects from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Step 3:
Take up a part time job or get an internship in a nursery or a local botanical garden. Frankly speaking, you will need at least 4 years of working experience in this line before you can become a certified landscape architect. At the same time, it will be good if you may look for a mentor who can provide you with guidance related to climate and regional vegetation.
Step 4:
Sit for the Landscape Architect Registration Exam. You need to pass this exam successfully in order to get your license and start your own design company. Bear in mind that you need to attend continuing education classes from time to time to renew your license.
Step 5:
Acquire a business license in order to run your business. You need to develop your business plan and marketing materials.
Step 6:
Join local Chamber of Commerce to broaden your network with contractors as well as realtors in your community. You can also join organizations such as the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, the American Nursery & Landscape Association and the American Society of Landscape Architects.
In short, we can conclude that this field is rewarding and lucrative but you need a lot of hard effort, time and experience to achieve great success.

McLean, VA (PRWEB) September 10, 2013
The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) is conducting an inaugural translational research symposium, “The Landscape of Accountable Care: How a Patient Focus is Changing the Industry“, on Friday, October 11, at the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) in New York City. Developed in partnership with NYSID, this formative event engages the expertise of leading healthcare design researchers and practitioners together with providers and policymakers who shape and implement healthcare policy and systems for New York.
Sessions will afford designers, care and service providers and policymakers the opportunity to learn about emerging models of patient-centered care, navigate nuances of new policies and strategize for effective delivery systems, while embracing research as a means to improve patient, staff and resource outcomes, and create opportunities to increase coordination, cooperation, and overall effectiveness for future healthcare design projects. Attendees have the opportunity to earn 6.5 AIA LU|HSW and EDAC credits.
“EDRA’s compelling interdisciplinary approach, its diverse membership, and especially EDRA’s breadth and depth of research on multiple scopes, venues, and scales of environments positions us to offer a unique partnership for learning and impact opportunity as we disseminate applied research specifically to those creating and managing new and modified environments,” said Rula Awwad-Rafferty, Ph.D., Chair of the EDRA Board of Directors and Professor of Art & Architecture at the University of Idaho. “The Accountable Care Symposium is an excellent opportunity to explore human-focused translational research in action, in a significant time where it can effectively chart many paths for the present and the future. We appreciate the integral support and leadership of the New York School of Interior Design and the symposium organizing committee in the creation and development of this important event.”
Symposium topics engage the audience in a variety of sessions that build from broad definition of issues and topics to specific actions and practices, exploring “Emerging Care Environments”; “Informing Emerging Models Through Research”; “Overcoming Barriers Together: Small Interventions with Big Impacts”; “A Model for Success”; and “A Call to Action: Patient-Center, From Planning to… ”. The diversity of presenters, representing the layers of healthcare landscape adds to the depth and agility of the program, with confirmed presenters: Jason Helgerson, Medicaid Director, State of New York; Nicholas Watkins, PhD, Principal and Research Lead, BBH Design; Whitney Austin Gray, PhD, Healthcare Design Leader, Cannon Design; Sanjay Parmar, AIA, Associate Principal and Senior Healthcare Planner, Perkins Eastman; Bruce Komiske, Project Executive, Westchester Medical Science Village and Living Science Center; Susan Frazier, RN, MA, Chief Operating Officer, the Green House Replication Initiative at NCB Capital Impact; Tama Duffy Day, FIIDA, FASID, LEED AP BD+C, Principal and Global Interior Design Healthcare Practice Leader, Perkins+Will; Ann Sloan Devlin, PhD, May Buckley Sadowski ’19 Professor of Psychology, Connecticut College; Eileen Malone, RN, MSN, MS, EDAC, Senior Partner, Mercury Healthcare Consulting, LLC; Barry S. Rabner, President and CEO, Princeton HealthCare System; Susan Lorenz, DrNP, RN, NEC-BC, EDAC, Vice President of Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer, Princeton HealthCare System; Jessica Vuocolo, IIDA, Associate and Interior Designer, HOK; and Erin Peavey, Associate AIA, LEED AP+BD+C, EDAC, Researcher + Medical Planner, HOK. Susan S. Szenasy, Editor in Chief of METROPOLIS, will facilitate the concluding session, bringing into focus key issues driving this movement.
The symposium is open to the public; space is limited to 125 registrants. For more information on the Accountable Care Symposium and to register, visit http://www.edra.org/content/edra-inaugural-fall-symposium-landscape-accountable-care.
