I have nothing but the highest praise for the outstanding dedication, effort and hard work that Denise Calabrese and the staff of Calabrese Management have accomplished to grow, nurture and guide the Association of Professional Landscape Designers over the last six years. During our APLD’s first years, we struggled trying to manage our association by ourselves. Then we went through a series of management companies who really did not have our interests at heart. We were their smallest account and no one had any idea of what our members actually did or what we wanted to accomplish. Finally, we found Calabrese Management and we have not looked back since! APLD now has over 1,200 professional designers throughout the world. Plus, we now have a Certification program that is internationally recognized for its high standards.
