WeU, after sending my rộsumộ to e more than 40 landscape architecture firms in the Raleigh area, and after a couple of days relaxing at the neighborhood pool, discovered that was bored In fact , was so bored started talking to other stay-at-home adults never had the chance to get to know when working Last February , forced my husband and my dad to help me build raised beds for my backyard and spent a weekend planting seeds with my daughters We turned my unused drafting table into a mini greenhouse, complete with grow lights , and started peas and zucchinis and tomatoes from seed When the seedlings were big enough and the weather was warr enough we stuck everything in the raised beds and watched, over the next few months, as insects had never heard of systematically ate the leaves off most of the plants This called for more cookies and a new lecture series on identii insects in the garden discovered a wonderful book by Douglas Tallamy called Blinging Natre Home and started organizing yet another a:er-schoollecture on why we need to plant things that ract bugs so that e birds have something to feed their babies This time made brownies AM STILL UNEMPLOYED~ BUT NOT OUT OF WORK I AM NEVER A LOSS TO FIND ANOTHER OUTDOOR PROJECT OR ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSE TO CHAMPION spent hours ta1king to one neighbor about whether she should install a stone patio or a deck in her backyard Firs t, we talked construction costs and what a realistic budget would be We went over the logistics of drainage, as the strucre wou1d go next to her koi pond Then 1went all crazy and showed up at the pool one day with a stack of garden design books We pored over pictures of stone patios and brick patios We learned that she had an irrational aversion to the herringbone pattern, but she liked the look of irrellar flagstone Her new patio is gorgeous , though not as big as she had original1y planned because of costs, and it does not drain into the fỡsh pond Since wasn't spending all my time at e pool, found other things to occupy my time spent one afternoon with my ughư ter and a bunch ofher Io-year-old friends explaining stormwater Th ey were actually somewhat interested We went outside and looked at the curb inlet in front of my house where the water went in We looked at the 36-inch concrete pipe that daylighted behind my house and dumped that same water into the stream along the back of my property line We talked about all the yucky stuff that gets washed into the stormwater when it rains , like 144/ LA N0 5CA PE ARCHITECTURE MAGA ZINE FEB 2011 fertilizers and dog poo Th is particar lecture series also included raiding my pantry for snacks, but to be honest, never go to an education seminar myself unless know there's a free lunch Last spring, entered a desn competition at the Sarah P Duke Gardens in Durham, North Carolina, with a friend and colleague of mine We didn't win, but we did get to present our design to a large group of people at a seminar on natural gardening We had based our design concept on permaculture ideas, and got to spend 45 glorious rninutes talking to a very interested audience about sustainability in the residential landscape Someone else handled the food this me Over this past summer, 1attempted my most ambitious and timeconsuming unemplonent project yet: swapped professional services with a local architect He agreed to design an outdoor classroom structure for my daughters' scho01 and agreed to work up a planting and paving desi for his backyard.le result was a set of architectural drawings that is ready to be submitted for a building permit, and one really nice-100king backyard As of this moment, am still unemployed, but not out of work am never at a loss to fỡnd another outdoor proj ect at needs completing or another environmental cause to champion while am chatting with eoer moms at the bus stop in the afternoon have taken all the things that have made me a good landscape architect-creativ ingenuity, cleverness, resourcefulness-and applied them to the other aspects of my life After all, why did any of us go into this profession in the fỡrst place? serious1y doubt it was for the money Most of us had an insatiable urge to make our environment a better place through design am still doing at 10N NE G MAHER , A LAND5CAPE AR CHITEC LNE5 IN o CAN BE REACHED AT YVONNEGMAHER@YAHO COM CARY, NORTH CAROLINA, AND For on in.deplh look 01 sile furnishings ond Ihe quolilies 1.800.368.2573 (USA &Conodo) I Tel: 301.855.8300 (1 I 10 look for before specificolion , schedule Morylond, USA I Viclor Slonley lunch & leorn 01 your office www.victorstanley.com : Calolog & DVD requesls , lEEDI[!; info, CAD specs & Imoges VICTORofQISTANLEY, INC -Mnl/lcturers CI RCLE 222 ON REA ER SERVICE CARD OR GO TO HTTP://l NFO.HOT1MS.COM/34 31.222 U/ lify Sife Fumis/t illg sillC(' 1962- [...]... students who com plete their undergraduate degree in landscape architecture?
