Advanced Smartscape classes build on the basic instruction offered in the Smartscape Certification Series for Landscape Professionals by expanding the subject matter to provide a broader and/or deeper knowledge in given areas of interest. The classes, offered as modules, are flexible in nature and are designed to address issues pertinent to landscape water conservation and education efforts unique to our Urban Sonoran Desert community and the surrounding areas in which the program participants live and work. Participants who have received certificates through the SmartScape Training Program are eligible to attend.
SmartScape’s value is reflected in the water-conscious landscapes of the communities it serves. We are pleased to offer these classes with the support of our program sponsor, City of Tucson Water Conservation Program.
Persons with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation, such as a sign language interpreter, by contacting the SmartScape Program Office 520-626-5161. Requests should be made as early as possible to allow time to arrange the accommodation.
