Landscape Design Winners

The AAS Design Challenge Contest judges display gardens using AAS Winners announced over the past five years. Gardens have the option to incorporate more than 85 years of past AAS Winners. Each display garden is responsible for creating and executing a design incorporating the yearly theme and to generate publicity surrounding the contest. All-America Selections is pleased that such a broad range of garden types have participated in the contest for 2017: large and small public gardens, seed companies, community gardens, master gardener programs and university gardens.

Kudos to all the participating gardens and their creative efforts to produce an attractive display of AAS Winners in this year’s theme of “Foodscaping-Interspersing Edibles with Ornamentals“!
