The American Society of Landscape Architects is looking for both men and women to complete a survey to help them better understand the topic of talent retention by gender and race. What are the underlying tensions that persist throughout our professional lives and what are the professional and personal milestones that affect career progression. Please take the survey, and pass it along to other current or former landscape architects, both MEN and WOMEN. We think this will be extremely valuable information.

East Greenwich Library cuts the ribbon
SDG was honored to be a part of the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Reading Terrace and outdoor wi-fi access area at the East Greenwich Free Library today. Many talented and generous people contributed to this project: not least of which was the Damon Company and their sub-contractors who made our designs a reality, and the Library Board, all of whom were such a joy to work with... Many thanks to this wonderful group. We hope to work with you all again in the future in some capacity!

East Greenwich Library is planted
Fall is in the air and the plants are in the ground at the East Greenwich Free Library at 82 Peirce St. Library patrons and staff alike are already reporting a boost in mood and energy that comes from walking through a garden to get into the Library, according to Karen Taylor, Library Director. That's why we got into landscape architecture!
