Since 1985, the Association of Northwest Landscape Designers (ANLD) has been dedicated to providing a forum in which landscape designers can network and share ideas to improve the design trade and to inspire beautiful landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. We are a non-profit organization of professionals.

Although we are primarily an association of landscape designers, our members also include contractors, nursery owners and others in the nursery and landscaping trade. Landscape designers are trained in the art of design and the science of horticulture. They create visual plans that make the best use of outdoor spaces in the most attractive ways, primarily in residential settings. Landscape contractors specialize in installing those plans. Some landscape designers are also contractors.

Our purpose through non-profit, non-sectarian, means shall be to:

• Cultivate business relationships through networking.
• Provide opportunities to build member knowledge and expertise through educational programming.
• Support beginning landscape designers in their transition from school to the workplace.
• Provide our members with opportunities for public promotion.
