Fieldday 2025: New England's Conference on Landscape Architecture

We invite the landscape architecture community of New England and beyond to gather for a robust day of education, inspiration, and connection.

Fieldday is the annual, in-person conference for landscape architects and design and construction professionals across our region. Horticulturalists, arborists, architects, engineers, planners, developers, policy makers, academics, green industry leaders; practitioners who create residential gardens to regional parks, outdoor spaces large to small; urban to rural, forest to meadow, river to coast… All who design, make, and care for landscape architecture in New England: this is for you.

The Fieldday conference will be followed by a series of outdoor, on-site walking tours at a variety of locations throughout New England.
