The AHS Environmental Awards recognizes outstanding horticultural exhibits at plant and garden shows across the nation. These awards honor horticultural excellence that highlights the bond between nature, sustainability, and design, inspiring viewers to beautify home and community through skillful design and thoughtfully chosen plant materials.
Northwest Flower & Garden Festival (February 14-18)
Winner: Captured Nature by GMC Landscapes LLC
The winning exhibit featured a watercourse and a skillful mix of native and ornamental plant material. Spaces between stones and plants appeared as they would in nature, and minimal use of forced color showed a good balance of showmanship and practical horticulture.
Maryland Home and Garden Show (March 1-10)
Winner: Urban Designs, Inc.
Winner Urban Designs created a 1,000 sq. ft.+ outdoor oasis incorporating native plants, dry riverbed, natural bluestone walk, boulders as accents, and natural wood benches made from fallen timber.
The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show (March 2-10)
Winner: A Beautiful Disturbance by Kelly D. Norris, LLC
