Landscape architect Glenn LaRue Smith has practiced for nearly 40 years, but he admits the profession wasn’t even on his radar when he was young.

Smith served a term as president of the American Society of Landscape Architects’ (ASLA) New York chapter, and received a Loeb Fellowship in advanced environmental studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
