WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Landscape Architecture, the magazine of the American Society of Landscape
Architects (ASLA), introduced its digital format online today with the April
issue. Zinio.com, a global online publishing and distribution company, began
offering the magazine on its site for annual subscription or single-copy
purchase.

Digital issues of Landscape Architecture will be searchable and
search-engine-optimized, increasing the magazine`s usefulness for research and
archiving. Interactive and multi-media capabilities will also be embedded in the
digital issues, allowing readers to link directly to related online information.

"Landscape Architecture magazine was founded in 1910, and as we near the 100th
anniversary, its online presence brings it fully into the 21st century," said J.
William "Bill" Thompson, FASLA, editor of the magazine. "I know this will make
the important information in its pages available in a more interactive way."

In celebration of National Landscape Architecture Month, the April Issue is
