National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation Launches Roblox Experience
Landscape Design Empire helps educate young people about landscaping.
Fairfax, VA., March 6, 2024 —The National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation has just released its Landscape Design Empire learning experience on the virtual platform Roblox, one of the largest virtual platforms in the world with millions of users.
Designed in collaboration with Epic Reach, Landscape Design Empire offers young players an immersive virtual and interactive learning experience while they design, install and maintain landscapes.
“We are so excited about the opportunity to reach tens of millions of players on Roblox and teach them about the benefits of caring for the landscapes around them,” said Jenn Myers, Executive Director of the National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation.
Landscape Design Empire is meant to be played with friends who can share their landscape designs with each other, create landscapes for clients and gain reputation, maintain the landscapes they’ve built, unlock new skills and jobs, and collect and use landscape tools. New features will be added regularly to keep the experience fresh.
In line with its commitment to nurturing the next generation of landscape industry professionals, the Foundation launched Landscape Design Empire to ensure that young players develop a foundational understanding of managed landscapes that may inspire environmental stewardship and foster a curiosity about landscape careers.
"As an industry, it's crucial to adapt to new mediums to reach and educate younger demographics. Landscape Design Empire represents a creative approach to fostering an interest in landscaping from an early age," said Chris Joyce, Foundation President.
The virtual platform also allows for collaboration with industry brands that can incorporate their equipment into the playing experience.
