2023 Landscape Design Challenge Theme:
“A Whimsical Garden”
What a fun theme for 2023! What does “whimsy” mean to you? How can your garden demonstrate that your garden is fun and whimsical?!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can AAS send me seed of my favorite AAS Winner from years prior to the past five?
No, AAS cannot send you seed from older AAS Winners because we do not keep a supply of all AAS Winners in inventory. However, the AAS Website has a “Buy AAS Winners” page that will link you to suppliers that carry AAS Winners.
I want to make a huge display with my favorite AAS Winner. Can you send me more than one packet of that seed?
Once all of the AAS Display Gardens have received their seed shipments in September, or February, AAS would be happy to send you additional seed packets if they are available.
Which AAS Winners will I receive in my December shipment?

Can I buy AAS Winner seed from you?
No, you cannot buy AAS Winner seed from AAS. AAS is a non-profit organization that conducts trials for breeding companies; AAS does not breed or produce seed. The breeders of AAS Winners donate just enough of their winning seed to AAS for AAS to distribute to AAS Display Gardens free of charge.
How do I know which AAS region I’m in?
