BSLA is you.

We are a community of landscape architects and designers, students and teachers and all those who create outdoor spaces.

BSLA is…

The “Boston” Society of Landscape Architects is the Massachusetts and Maine chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).

Founded in 1913, we were the first local chapter of ASLA. 

Today, from Portland to Provincetown, Amherst to Augusta, the Berkshires to New Bedford to Boston, BSLA connects, convenes, and celebrates landscape architects and the greater design community, as we strive to advance the profession of landscape architecture, and support the creation of extraordinary – resilient, equitable, beautiful -- environments throughout the region and the world.

Our official membership includes approximately 200 student members and 500 professional members at every stage of career. Thank you to all of you who support us through membership!

BSLA includes two “sections” — Western Mass and Maine — that serve to connect on a local level in those geographies.

We believe in inclusion, and we value everyone working to create outdoor spaces that uplift individuals, families, neighborhoods, and regions. We invite you to participate in our events and activities.

We are volunteer led, volunteer driven, and we aim to serve our entire landscape architecture community.

We are grateful that you’re part of our community.
