1. “Women in the Dirtâ€: a new film about women
architects in landscaping - Los Angeles Outdoor Living
If you love landscaping, there is a film debut you might not want to miss. "Women in the Dirt" will be
showing in Hollywood, CA the second week of August. The film, produced and directed by Carolann
Stoney, centers around the designs of seven award-winning women landscape architects (Cheryl
Barton, Andrea Cochran, Isabelle Greene, Mia Lerher, Lauren Melendrez, Pamela Palmer, and
Katherine Spitz). These are women who have shown impressive scope in combining creativity with
sustainability, art, practicality and safety in projects that range from residential to large commercial
jobs. Women are having a major impact on the beauty and designs of landscapes. This film captures
the gift these particular landscape architects have brought to the business.
You can catch this unique film shown in Blu-ray on Saturday August 13 at 11am at the Raleigh
Studios at 5300 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood CA 90038
If you are not near Los Angeles, you can view "Women in the Dirt" on Friday August 19th at 2 pm in
Vancouver, WA at the Columbis Gorge International Film Festival.
Another viewing will be shown on Thursday Sept 15 in Los Angeles as a combined effort of the
University of Southern California School of Architecture/Architectural Guild and the Southern
California Chapter of ASLA.
And if you are going to be in Spain in the autumn, you
can see a screening at the Mediterranean Garden Society
annual meeting on Friday October 14th in Palma de
