The Wellington Garden Club, in conjunction with Florida Federation of Garden Clubs – District X, recognizes and encourages well-designed and maintained plantings in the public and private sectors. These awards are called the Unsolicited Landscape Design Awards and are presented annually. These awards are “unsolicited” in that they are not requested/nominated by the owners of the locations. Any garden club member in the district can submit a nomination.

Gannon’s office in Westlake was this year’s winner in the Public Facility category. The judges’ comments were: “Aesthetically beautiful,” “hardscape and landscape harmoniously arranged,” and “interesting, diverse plant material.”
