Greetings everyone!
The Awards dinner went well, and as I said at the mic that night it was good to gather in 3D again. We had about 50 in attendance and the night went on without much issue. It was fantastic to see the awards and hear a little from the teams that are creating our local precedent for what great landscape architecture is. Congratulations to Loft 6/4 and Loci for sweeping the awards this year! Such amazing people and such inspiring work! The highlight of the evening for me was meeting new people. I spoke with a few new faces during cocktail hour and I was deeply inspired to see the next generation of landscape designers and landscape architects. They seem to be keyed into the issues we face today, and I look forward to seeing what they create.
We are three weeks from our National Conference in Nashville Tennessee. This is the first time I will be privileged enough to attend one of these in person and represent our chapter. I am especially looking forward to touring all the great works of Landscape Architecture in Nashville and then slipping away to make a little side trip down to Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg. I am sure to be inspired to plan our chapters 2022 conference when I return.
Alas, this is my final newsletter as President of ASLA Utah. I want to welcome Adam Castor into office. Adam has been a rock to our Executive Committee, and he will now preside over the Board as I know he will do very well. Finally, I invite all members to participate in the dialogues and actions required to progress our practice in this State. There is much to do.
Change will not come from one but from all!
Seth Bockholt, ASLA

Awards Banquet
Tyler Smithson, Awards Committee Chair
On October 15, 2021 ASLA Utah celebrated the annual Awards Banquet in style. Featuring two sets from the swinging gypsy jazz band called the Red Rock Hot Club, ASLA’s first gathering in over a year and half was a grand success. Guest made their way to the Prairie Style “Clubhouse on South Temple” built in 1913, via a covered porch with beautiful wood inlay detail and stained-glass accents. Beyond the threshold and inside the lobby, a one-of-a-kind antique piano which had recently been returned to the lower forty-eight via an extended residency in Hawai’i. Just down the hall, an extraordinary drawing room that was converted into a bar that served cocktails with views of an outdoor patio with wavy stained-glass doors. Downstairs, lied the heart of the Photo Collective Studio (PCS) where an extensive collection of analog cameras graces handmaid bookshelves where a darkroom with revolving door to prevent outside light. This provides a stunning contrast to the historic purpose of the literary club; however, seems relevant as the PCS serves as community resource for photographers, film professionals, and other artists. This was so much fun its destined to become an annual tradition - plan on attending next year!
