Internships should be a doorway to reality. 🌿

They’re the first chance to step beyond the classroom and into the day-to-day of the profession—collaborating with teams, solving real problems, understanding workflow, and seeing how design impacts communities. It takes their passion and shows how reality can transform it.

More than just experience for a résumé, internships build confidence, connection, and a stronger foundation for the future.

See what Molly, 2023 Summer Intern, has to say about their internship at OCBA - https://www.ocba.com/blog/whyinternshipsmatter

Access to landscape matters.
It matters for our health.
For moments of therapy and restoration.
For connection—with nature, with our communities, and with each other.
Well-designed outdoor spaces bring value to neighborhoods and help create a sense of balance between the built environment and the natural world. They remind us that cities and nature are not meant to compete—but to coexist.
Having access to landscape and the outdoors isn’t a luxury. It’s a fundamental part of healthy communities.
That’s one of the many reasons landscape architecture matters.
