The March issue of 805 Living features a major article about Thousand Oaks-based landscape architect James Dean, who is one of the instructors in The Tseng College's Landscape Design certificate program. Dean is the resident landscape architect for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and has created a number of outdoor public spaces, including The Commons at Calabasas, The Promenade at Westlake, and The Village at Moorpark.
