Add landscape architects horticulturists, flower shops and gardening-lovers to the list of roundabout natural allies!
How about we all forward Russ's terrific find to every landscape architect we know, as well as to the prez of our local ASLA chapter. You can find your local ASLA chapter at:
http://www.asla.org/Chapters.aspx
You might want to include one or two photos of USA roundabouts with nice landscaping. Can anyone post a good example on the listserv?
