SMARTSCAPE is a training program specifically designed for
professionals in the landscape industry or associated fields. We have
a range of students who attend Smartscape, such as those owning or
working for landscaping companies (installation and maintenance
supervisors and crew members, or office personnel involved in
scheduling field staff or contracting), employees of municipal parks
and recreation departments, nurseries, landscape architecture or
design firms, and property management companies, as well as HOA
members.
Smartscape programs are designed to provide education on a wide range
of topics encountered in the landscape field, with instruction from
experts in the green industry. Attendees can earn continuing education
for International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), Irrigation
Association (IA)*, or the Arizona chapter of the American Society of
Landscape Architects (AzASLA) certification. *For the Advanced
