courses or certificates-recommendations
« on: November 13, 2014, 07:16:13 PM »
Dear all,
I am a recently transplanted landscape architect, newly working in a Mediterranean climate (Israel).  I don't want to be one of those landscape architects that does planting designs without really understanding and having worked with the plants they specify, so I'm looking to gain some expertise.  Does anybody have recommendations for programs or summer courses in mediterranean horticulture, botany, planting design, or similar topics?  I am looking for something of a few months, and am willing to travel throughout the region. 

Any insight is appreciated!!

Ayehlet, As you're in Israel now I expect you've already considered one of the courses/programmes at Jerusalem Botanical Gardens?
