Currently I hold a bachelors in landscape design and management, my undergrad curriculum had a strong focus on horticulture. I stuck around for an extra semester to take a few graduate courses in landscape architecture, and urban planning to help prepare mentally for graduate education.
Next fall I will be attending graduate school to begin working toward my MLA degree. I had to defer this year due to financial instability (couldn't afford to make the move from Florida to Chicago).
Since I have a year off so to speak, I would like to find an internship at a firm, agency, or contracting company specializing in landscape architecture/design. An internship would be ideal versus finding a full time designer position as I feel there is still a lot I can learn. So far I haven't had much luck finding anything, I've sent copies of my resume and cover letters to quite a few firms but have received no promising responses.
Before I start making cold calls to firms, can anyone offer any advice for finding an internship?

Any suggestion for finding a year long internship?
