"My favorite landscape design project I have worked on was the redesign of the university's botanical gardens. It was such a great project because it involved so many different groups, including volunteer students, design professors, maintenance crews, and historians. I'm grateful that I was in school at the time and had this opportunity to work on a project in my own backyard and see it evolve in such a short time. Everyone contributed to all phases of the project, from the design to installation and maintenance of the garden, and I feel this process was truly what collaboration is really all about. We respected each other and all learned a great deal from each other."

I'm a big fan of Pulaski park in North Hampton, Ma. I thought Stimson associates did a fantastic job of looking at the city and giving them a space ultra-useful. Also, I enjoyed recreating the front yard of my house. To work with visual alignments is always fun.

Rachelle's Feedback
You give two great examples here - nice work! If you have a visual portfolio to bring with you, you could always include pics of the front yard you created.
