Winning Designs
Professional, First Place:
Heather Lenkin, Lenkin Design: Heather Lenkin Tiffany Garden
 A necklace named, ‘A Palette of Sapphires,’ from Tiffany & Co inspired Lenkin to create her winning garden for the Los Angeles Arboretum’s May 2007 LA Garden Show. The necklace’s nine sapphires moved Lenkin to work with a palate of nine varieties of roses. In addition to the glitz of the roses such as ‘Tiffany’ and ‘Social Climber,’ the ground was mulched with glittering colored glass. Since the 900 square foot boxwood knot garden was movable, Lenkin sold the piece after the Garden Show and donated the proceeds to two admirable causes: the LA Arboretum’s Artist in Residence program and Huntington Memorial Hospital’s Pet Assisted Therapy Program.

Student, First Place:
Stephanie Gautama, Cornell University: Stallman Rose Garden: Meditation, Celebration, Reflection
 Cornell University student Stephanie Gautama was inspired by the forgotten Stallman Rose Garden, at Stewart Park, in Ithaca, New York. Her revitalized design plan was divided into three parts, meditation, celebration and reflection. These three themed garden rooms together created a tranquil journey of roses that starts with a meditation room of white roses and ends with a reflection pool surrounded by orange and cream roses. This is not only a new sanctuary for Stewart Park but it is also an educational rose garden for that community. Gautama wanted, “Children, as well as parents and grandparents to come to this garden to experience and enjoy the beauty of roses.” more images
