The European Federation for Landscape Architecture (EFLA) is the professional organization for landscape architecture in Europe. It acts as champion in the promotion of EU and Council of Europe landscape policies, directives and agreements. Membership of EFLA is open to national associations for landscape architecture in countries which are members of the Council of Europe. EFLA constitutes the European Region of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA).
It also works closely with ECLAS (the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools) and ELASA (the European Landscape Architecture Students' Association), and participates in the Le:Notre thematic network.

“Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every landscape which is dreary enough has a certain beauty to my eyes, and in this instance its permanent qualities were enhanced by the weather. Everything told of the sea, even when we did not see its waste or hear its roar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
