Dear Readers,
Welcome to this edition of Georgia Landscape Magazine — a publication created by students, for students, and for everyone who’s curious about the world of landscape architecture.
This issue highlights the diverse and dynamic perspectives shaping our field today. As students, we’re constantly juggling studio deadlines, design critiques, and everything in between. But through it all, we’re learning that landscape architecture is more than just a discipline — it’s a way of seeing, questioning, and connecting with the spaces and stories around us.
Inside, you’ll find features that range from community gardens blooming across Athens to reflections on how trails impact the way we move, feel, and live. We’re spotlighting the work of emerging designers and amplifying voices that are pushing the boundaries of what landscape architecture can be. Every piece here was written with care, curiosity, and a genuine love for the place.
As Editor-in-Chief, I’m so proud of the team behind this magazine. It’s not easy pulling something like this together in the middle of a busy semester, but the energy, passion, and perspective everyone brought to the table made it all worth it.
Thanks for flipping through these pages, for supporting student work, and for sharing in this ongoing exploration of landscape.
All the best,
Sam Nash Riggs
