In the realm of architecture and design, every day is an opportunity to celebrate the ingenuity, creativity, and impact of those who shape our built environment. However, there are special occasions that allow us to amplify this appreciation, such as World Landscape Architecture Month. Occasions such as this serve as a reminder of the vital role that landscape architects play in enhancing our communities and enriching our lives.
Established by the American Association of Landscape Architects, World Landscape Architecture Month takes place each year in April as a time to honor the skilled professionals in the landscape architecture profession and recognize their contributions to organizations such as WGI, as well as to our communities and the world at large.
The Essence of Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture is an art form that seamlessly merges nature, culture, and architecture to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional and sustainable. At WGI, our award-winning landscape architects approach each project with a dedication to fulfilling the client’s vision while adhering to budgetary constraints. Our designs are tailored to the unique characteristics of each location, resulting in solutions that exceed all expectations.
The Significance of World Landscape Architecture Month
World Landscape Architecture Month provides a global platform to showcase the beauty and creativity inherent in landscape architecture. For WGI’s team of professionals, this month serves as an opportunity to highlight our innovative work and share our passion for creating vibrant outdoor spaces.

A Brief History of Landscape Architecture
The term “landscape architecture” was first coined by Gilbert Laing Meason in his book “The Landscape Architecture of the Great Painters of Italy” in 1828. Over a century later, the term remains as relevant as ever, reflecting the enduring impact of this profession.
As we fast forward to the 19th century, Frederick Law Olmsted came to be known as the “Father of American Landscape Architecture” for his highly-regarded design work on iconic projects such as New York’s Central Park grounds and his work on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
WGI’s Commitment to Excellence
At WGI, we take pride in our landscape architecture team’s ability to create unique spaces that foster a sense of place and community. Whether it’s designing the grounds of The Gulf Coast Town Center in Florida or crafting the outdoor experience at The Polo Club of Boca Raton, our team strives to deliver sustainable, maintainable, and environmentally conscious designs.
As we celebrate World Landscape Architecture Month and reflect on the significance of landscape architecture in our everyday lives, let us acknowledge the profound impact of those who shape our physical surroundings. Through their dedication, creativity, and vision, landscape architects at WGI and around the world continue to transform landscapes into vibrant, thriving spaces that enrich our lives and connect us with the natural world.
