Conway is turning 50 and we want you to join us in person to celebrate!

Fifty years have passed since the summer of 1972 when Walt Cudnohufsky began construction of the Conway School of Landscape Design on Delabarre Avenue in Conway. Conway has always been a school rooted in communityboth the physical and the social. Our size and the close-knit nature of our cohorts and employees have enabled warm and organic opportunities for celebrating not only student work, but the natural cycles of life and environment. The onset of the pandemic threw a wrench into those works, but as we cautiously ease out of our isolation, it is time once again to celebrate everything we’ve been through, and to reconnect, in person

You can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, celebrate and reminisce about the first 50 years of the school, and ponder what the next 50 will look like.

What: 50th Anniversary Celebration for students, alums, employees, and trustees (present and past) of the school

When: Saturday, June 3, 2023, 1 to 5 pm

Where: The party will be held at the Edge Hill Golf Course in Ashfield, MA under a tent. This is the last year Edge Hill will operate as a golf course and the Franklin Land Trust is set to purchase and conserve it this fall.

Registration: Ticket sales have now closed. Please contact Elaine Williamson at events@csld.edu with any questions.
