Genesis 3 Design Group has formed an affiliate sponsorship with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), which will allow both organizations to expand their educational offerings to members and allow them to keep up-to-date on the latest trends in the aquatic and landscaping design/build industries.
“Neither a pool nor a patio can standalone without a good overall landscape design,” said APLD sponsorship chair, Colleen Hamilton. “In the same way, good landscapes need relaxing outdoor spaces, which include water in the form of pools, water features, and fountains.
“APLD and Genesis 3 realize the expertise that can be provided by one another and are working together to build this partnership.”
Combined with Genesis 3’s International Association for Continuing Education & Training (IACET) accreditation program, APLD also offers its members a certification program that provides professional recognition to those designers who can pass a rigorous peer review program.
“No other educational system in the pool, spa, and landscape industry has the scope and third-party accreditation that Genesis 3 and its participants enjoy,” added Brian Van Bower, Society of Watershape Designers’ (SWD’s) president, cofounder of Genesis 3, and Pool & Spa Marketing contributor.
Founded in 1989, the APLD is an international organization, which looks to advance the profession of landscape design and promote the recognition of landscape designers as qualified and dedicated professionals.
