Garden Graphics has become an educational partner to the Canadian Nursery and Landscape Association (CNLA). The CNLA qualifies designers under the Certified Landscape Design Program (CLD). Through this partnership, designers and design/build contractors who are enrolled in the CLD program can purchase Garden Graphics’ DynaSCAPE Student Edition for $100 (CAN), to assist them in achieving this trade qualification. After a year, those individuals can upgrade to the full package for half-price.
“Garden Graphics is pleased to support the CLD Program and stands behind its goal of establishing and maintaining a high degree of professionalism and proficiency in all aspects. It provides a way for qualified practitioners to demonstrate their skill and knowledge to prospective clients and set themselves apart from their non-certified competition,” says Everett deJong, Sales and Marketing manager for Garden Graphics.

Garden Graphics and CNLA will work on co-marketing the CLD program to members of the landscape design and design/build industry across Canada.
Additionally, Garden Graphics will work with CNLA to develop educational opportunities for landscape designers to aid them in preparation for the CLD exam and to create a better trained more professional industry. “CNLA seeks out forward-thinking partners who can create a win-win-win situation for themselves, CNLA and its members,” says Joel Beatson, education and marketing coordinator for CNLA. “This is a very exciting partnership that will aid in spreading the message of professionalism to the landscape design industry.”
