Last night was a special one.

We gathered to celebrate Damon Farber receiving the University of Minnesota College of Design’s Alumni Service Award, recognizing his many years of leadership, service, and commitment to the profession and the university.

But we had a few surprises of our own.

With the help of Goldy Gopher and the University of Minnesota Marching Band, we surprised Damon during the celebration. And then came the biggest surprise of all: the creation of a new scholarship in Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota College of Design in Damon’s honor.

As we celebrate 45 years of Damon Farber Landscape Architects, the scholarship feels especially meaningful. It is not only a way to recognize Damon, but to honor everyone who has helped shape this firm over the years and to support the students and future landscape architects who will carry the profession forward.

A great night celebrating a remarkable milestone, a lasting legacy, and the future of landscape architecture.

Congratulations, Damon. And Ski-U-Mah! 🥁

Next week, we’re excited to attend the National Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) Conference in Minneapolis, where higher education leaders from across the country come together to discuss the future of campus planning and design.

Our team partners with colleges and universities nationwide to create campus environments that support learning, strengthen community, and enhance the student experience. Every campus has its own story, and we enjoy helping institutions shape spaces that reflect their goals and create lasting value.

If you’ll be at , we’d love to connect and continue the conversation.

We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of the new playground at Badger Prairie County Park on Tuesday!
 
Badger Prairie County Park is an important community space for children, families, Ice Age Trail visitors, and outdoor enthusiasts across Dane County. Working from the County’s conceptual framework, our team developed a design rooted in Wisconsin’s glacial history, using glaciers, icicles, frozen flowage, drumlins, glacial till, and boulders as inspiration for an imaginative play environment.
 
The result is a playground that blends accessible play, educational storytelling, and a strong sense of place. The new playground fits seamlessly into the broader park experience, offering stunning views of the adjacent prairie landscape for both parents sitting on benches and children at the pinnacle of the play structure.
 
Congratulations to Dane County Parks and everyone involved in bringing this exciting new community amenity to life!

We are deeply grateful to have received recognition for our work with on the Grand Rounds Missing Link, which received an Honor Award from in the Planning & Urban Design category 🌳🏙️

The Grand Rounds is the nation’s longest continuous urban parkway system and has defined Minneapolis for 140 years, linking the city’s lakes, rivers, creeks, and civic spaces. Yet one critical segment—the “Missing Link”—remains unbuilt, leaving residents of the East Side disconnected from the parkways.

The plan for the Missing Link addresses this longstanding gap by repurposing underused roadways, restoring brownfields, and revealing buried waterways-turning the challenges of an urban environment into opportunities to improve connectivity, enhance ecology, and celebrate community identity. Online geospatial tools empowered residents and agencies to collaboratively shape the corridor, establishing a model for shaping legacy infrastructure in dense urban environments.

Through thoughtful selection criteria which prioritized projects that would align with partner agency initiatives and provide immediate community benefit, the first phase project was selected this year. The “Mid-City Prairie” is scheduled to become the first step toward completing the Grand Rounds Missing Link 🌾

Thank you to for the recognition and to for the opportunity to work on such an exciting and impactful project!

Last weekend, our team joined the Earth Day Cleanup at Lake Hiawatha and got to work along the shoreline. 🌿

Chuck showed off his impressive balance to remove a piece of trash from the water and in total, our group cleaned up 110 pounds of trash. Andrew single-handedly collected 16lbs!! We are grateful for these waterways and green spaces in our city, and the collective effort it takes to care of them. ❤️

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌳🌊

From waterfronts to civic plazas and neighborhood parks, our work is designed to bring people together, strengthen community identity, and create places people are proud to call their own.

The most memorable public spaces become the heart of a community. We believe they grow from curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine care for people and place.
