Dear Prospective Student,

Paul Cawood HellmundThanks for looking into the Conway School’s graduate program in sustainable landscape planning and design. The catalog and this Web site were designed to give you a feel for the school and its unique approach.

Some schools talk about design, do practice designs, or prepare for design sometime in the future. We design from day one, on real projects with real clients. You graduate with professional-level projects under your belt and with the prospects of strong references from your clients.

Conway is for motivated learners who think for themselves, who are committed to working for positive change in the world, and who learn best in a dynamic, real-world, collaborative setting. There are no grades (you re-do work until it measures up), few hypothetical exercises (you work on real projects with real clients), and there is a pervading sense of cooperation and common mission.

We seek students who are open to design, landscape, ecology, and “doing right by the planet” and to looking across scales, ranging from backyards to regions. We are not a garden design school. You don’t have to know how to draw already, you just have to be willing to learn that and many other interesting things. We will help you develop the skills you need to be an effective agent of change.

Sound interesting? Want to make a difference? We hope you will apply. In the meanwhile, please come see for yourself.

Paul Hellmund
