Women in the Dirt Landscape Architects

Women in the Dirt: Landscape Architects is a documentary film that began as a student project and received an honor award for communications from the American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA). The film explores the careers of seven of California's most talented landscape architects, as well as the profession of landscape architecture as a whole, and specifically how women have impacted it.
The individual profiles of landscape architect Isabelle Greene, Pamela Palmer, Andrea Cochran, Mia Lehrer, Lauren Melendrez, Katherine Spitz, and Cheryl Barton are a focus in the film, as the profession of landscape architecture, and the role women have had in the field throughout history is defined. The documentary also provides a glimpse at many well known large scale public, private, and commercial spaces in California, all designed by these women. The documentary also covers the practice of sustainable design as well as the idea that the everyday spaces around us are all designed for practical, social, economical and environmental purposes.
The ASLA jurors called it, " A wonderful celebration of women's achievements in landscape architecture."
