APLD Bay Area District

In October 2014, a small group of APLD members took on the task of consolidating four regional districts into one—the APLD Bay Area District. This combined Bay Area District builds upon the shoulders of the APLD California Chapter’s earliest roots on the San Francisco Peninsula, branching off to include districts in San Francisco, the East Bay, and the North Bay. 

We strive to educate our members on the latest tools, trends, and best practices to support your skills and businesses. From workshops on irrigation technology and climate appropriate plants, garden tours and business planning; our success is the result of the work of members who are passionate about landscape design, just like you.
