JURY SPECIAL RECOGNITION

“Comprehensive Community Impact”

China Trail Garden at the Acton Arboretum

The Jury felt this was a compelling and inspiring passion project. Comprehensive and diverse community engagement and activation story is strong. The landscape story is small, but focused, incorporating a unique combination of plants. The potential for perennial stewardship is inspiring and outstanding. Small budget, but has big cultural and community significance.
