The Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning at UMass Amherst (LARP) is pleased to announce that the Garden X Graphite Scholarship Fund reached its $200,000 fundraising goal.

STIMSON Studio established Garden x Graphite as the first scholarship for socioeconomically disadvantaged students studying landscape architecture at UMass Amherst with a proficiency in horticulture and/or drawing. STIMSON and LARP believe that plant knowledge and hand sketching are critical elements of landscape architecture education and practice that must continue to be taught and nurtured.

The department extends its gratitude to Lauren Stimson and STIMSON Studio, as well as all its donors and sponsors for their generosity. Visit https://www.umass.edu/landscape-planning/give to learn more about the Garden x Graphite Scholarship Fund and other ways to support LARP students.
