Out Now:
Spring 2026

Our newest issue—Designing with Color: Mood, Movement and Seasonality—explores how color shapes the experience of landscape design, from emotional resonance to spatial definition and seasonal expression. Through a range of projects and perspectives, this edition considers how designers use color to guide experience, highlight structure, and create a deeper sense of place.

From expressive, material-driven compositions to subtle, place-based planting palettes, we examine how color is layered through planting, hardscape, and built elements to transform outdoor spaces into cohesive, intentional environments.

This publication is made possible through the generous support of our APLD California sponsors, whose continued commitment strengthens our community and advances the practice of landscape design.
