The Slovene Association of Landscape Architects was established in 1992 as an association of experts in the field of landscape architecture and spatial management. Its mission is to promote the landscape architecture profession in Slovenia, to search for spatial solutions in co-operation with various public entities, and to educate on the issues of environment protection.

The association stimulates co-operation with other professions in solving spacial and environmental problems, and international linking. It is a member of the international Federation of Landscape Architects and the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), and is actively co-operating with related associations, also with the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning of Slovenia (ZAPS). The Association has played a significant role in the processes of adoption of spatial, building, environmental, and other sectoral legislation.

Activities

Besides its publishing activities and successful participation in many competitions, the association organises lectures, exhibitions of the work of its members, and panel discussions.

Together with the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Ljubljana, it has organised several conferences, to mention only the International Conference on Landscape Planning: Landscape Planning in the Era of Globalisation in Portorož in 2002, and Public open space in Ljubljana in 2008.

The annual Month of Landscape Architecture that takes place in April has become an important event offering lectures, guided tours, and children's workshops, thus educating on environmental, social, and economic points of spatial planning, landscape planning, and landscape design.
