SPANNING OVER TWO CENTURIES OF AMERICAN LANDSCAPE DESIGN, THE WHAT'S OUT THERE DATABASE IS SEARCHABLE BY LANDSCAPE NAME, LOCALE, DESIGNER, TYPE, AND STYLE. IT HAS OVER 1,870 ENTRIES SO FAR WITH CONTENT CREATED BY ACADEMICS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ADVOCATES, AND HAS BEEN VETTED OVER THE PAST DECADE BY DOZENS OF RESEARCHERS AND HISTORIANS. WE CREATED WHAT'S OUT THERE TO SERVE AS A REFERENCE FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF DESIGN AND HISTORY, ENTHUSIASTS, AND PROFESSIONALS, PROVOKING INTEREST, INFORMING STEWARDSHIP DECISIONS, AND ENRICHING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DESIGNED LANDSCAPE HISTORY. AN EXTENSION OF THE WHAT'S OUT THERE DATABASE, WHAT'S OUT THERE WEEKEND DRAWS PEOPLE OUT INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE FIRST-HAND THE LANDSCAPES THAT THEY SEE EVERY DAY BUT OFTEN OVERLOOK. HOSTED IN DIFFERENT CITIES EVERY YEAR, WHAT'S OUT THERE WEEKEND BRINGS TO LIGHT THE UNIQUE LANDSCAPE LEGACY AND LOCAL CHARACTER OF EACH CITY, DEFINED BY ITS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PARKS, GARDENS, PLAZAS, CEMETERIES, MEMORIALS, AND NEIGHBORHOODS.
