INTENSIVE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING
PROFESSIONAL SERIES AND CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION
The Green Gardens Group (G3) Intensive Sustainable Landscaping Professional
Series has been developed to provide landscape professionals involved in the
planning, installation, and maintenance of landscapes in California with
practical, timely, and compelling knowledge of the eco-restorative practices
underlying low impact development and sustainable landscape design.
The curriculum provides up-to-date facts about the latest environmental
issues, cutting-edge techniques and restorative practices to convert
landscapes into functioning urban watershed models. Participants in the
Intensive Series learn how to calculate the site-specific information
necessary to quantify the effects of unsustainable practices and are
provided with the selling tools required to effectively communicate the
sustainable solutions and eco-actions for shifting the California landscape
paradigm.
Participants successfully completing the Intensive Series are eligible to
sit for the G3 Sustainable Landscape Professional Certification Examination.
The Certification Exam will test the Participant’s ability to design
sustainable landscapes with deep consideration for Water Budgeting, Storm
Water Pollution Prevention, Urban Watershed Restoration, Native Habitat
Creation, and Residential Stewardship.
G3 is working with California cities, water districts, non-profit
organizations, policy makers, professional landscape designers, professional
environmentalists, and the greater community of homeowners and commercial
interests, to train and support a grass-roots army of sustainable landscape
professionals devoted to working toward profound environmental change within
their own communities. Please join us in shaping the revolution! Sustainable
IS Attainable!
Join us and an amazing group of professionals already committed for this
unique intensive class and exam, through which we build a cohort of
certified sustainable landscape professionals ready to shape the California
of the future.
