We are deeply honored to be the the first-ever recipient of The American Horticultural Society’s new Garden Stewardship Award, which recognizes a public garden that embraces and exemplifies sustainable horticultural practices in design, maintenance, and/or programs.

Our horticulture staff incorporate a conservation ethic into every aspect of their work, from plant selection and landscape design to water use, integrated pest management, renewable energy, and recycled and reused materials. Learn more about our programs and the Garden Stewardship Award on the American Horticultural Society’s website.
