The 2025 AAS Landscape Design Winners
All-America Selections’ 2025 Landscape Design Challenge embraced education this year with a theme of “S.T.E.A.M…Using AAS Winners.”
For the challenge, AAS provides the gardens with recent AAS Winner seeds and plants. The gardens have the option to incorporate older AAS Winners in their design to illustrate the theme. Gardens are encouraged to generate publicity and hold events to share the story of All-America Selections and AAS Winners.
