Florida Chapter ASLA Landscape Architects (1959 - 2009)

Florida landscape architects were joined with the Southeast Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects until 1959, the year the Florida Chapter was formed. Among the founding members of the Florida Chapter, ASLA, were Bill Phillips, Fred Stressau, Jon Seymour, Bob Neal, Jim Voss, Herrick Smith, Porter Reynolds, Ray Collins, Pete Allen, and Bill O’Leary. 

The Florida Chapter has launched Project 50 to commemorate its Golden Anniversary and to recognize ASLA member landscape architects and the places they created in Florida.
