NARGS Awards 2012 Award winners Awards of Merit: Mike Slater Alice Nicolson Al Deurbrouck Edgar T. Wherry Award: James H. Locklear Linc and Timmy Foster Millstream Garden Awards: Patricia Highberg David and Wendy Sellars CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THESE WINNERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH TO ROCK GARDENING IN NORTH AMERICA. There were no nominations for the Marvin E. Black, Carleton R. Worth, and Marcel LePiniec Awards. Call for Nominations for 2013 Awards It's not too soon to start thinking about NARGS 2013 Award nominations. We did very well in 2012 despite very little time to get complete nomination packages due to the early Annual Meeting. However, we now have a good ramp up for the May 2013 meeting. And more importantly, our judges have agreed to stay on for another year. Our resident artist, Lori Chips, is also designing additional certificates for us to commemorate the honors. I would like to receive the new nominations by February 5, 2013. A listing of previous recipients of the awards are on the NARGS website. AwArd of Merit is given to persons who have made outstanding contributions to rock and alpine gardening and to NARGS. In addition, the recipients will be people of demonstrated plantsmanship and an active member of the Society. MArcel le Piniec AwArd is given to a nursery person, propagator, hybridizer, or plant explorer who is currently actively engaged in extending and enriching the plant material available to rock gardeners. edgAr t. wherry AwArd is given to a person who has made an outstanding contribution in the dissemination of botanical and/or horticultural information about native North American plants. The recipient does not have to be a member of the Society. 306 Rock Garden Quarterly Vol. 70 (3)
