The best part about the landscape architecture program is how hands-on and practical everything we learn is. In each class you are making, drawing, and doing projects that professional landscape architects do on a day-to-day basis.

I decided to study at U of G because of the amazinglandscape architecture program! I loved that it combines science and design, as well as being the only accredited undergraduate landscape architecture program in Canada. I had only heard good things about the community and culture here at Guelph.

I have always loved the outdoors and found construction and design very interesting. I was looking into architecture programs when a friend recommended I check out the landscape architecture program at the University of Guelph. From that day on, I was fascinated by the career and the program. The idea of being able to combine my passion for the outdoors and design to create outdoor spaces sounded like a dream job.

What I love about the BLA program is that it combines all the things that I am most passionate about. I enjoy studying the built environment that we live in and learning about how a well-designed environment has an impact on the people that live there.

My role as a landscape designer encompasses a range of tasks and projects. I have helped format master plan documents and reports, created rendered graphics, and have done some construction detail work. I am very fortunate enough to work at a firm that prioritizes giving its staff exposure to various projects and tasks throughout the design and implementation process.
