Critique: There isn't too much to say about the page since there isn't much going on. The mass of images in the body are laid out pretty well, but they don't lead your eye in any direction, and they aren't present in a way that makes the viewer interested in looking through them. The text gets lost in a handful of the images, and there's no consistency in the copy style. If they incorporated the same green opaque banner that's in the "Got Spring?" image in other images, it might help tie things together. It would also help to get rid of some photos and just replace them with text over a solid black background. I think that would help separate some of the info a little better. I do really like the secondary navigation as a drop-down. It helps keep what little space they have left open. While footer is aligned with the navigation bar, I think it should be moved over and center aligned, instead. There's too much empty space in the footer that could be used for quicklinks or social media links.
