2002 Bonnylin Woods Martin Medal

Presented to:  Gail Emmons, a flower arranger who studied Sogetsu Ikebana over twenty five years ago and has brought her unique talent of mixing east and west joins with her favorite school of thought, "dare to be different".

Proposed by: Woodside-Atherton Garden Club, Zone XII

The Bonnylin Woods Martin Medal is presented for the most consistently innovative floral designs. The purpose of the medal is to recognize flower arrangers at the highest level and to encourage their participation in GCA and international flower shows.

The Bonnylin Woods Martin Medal was endowed by Audrey Taylor Gonzalez in honor of Bonnylin “Bonny” Woods Martin (1933–2022), Memphis Garden Club, Zone IX, a distinguished flower arranger, judge, and Flower Show Committee chair (1996–98). Bonny received the Natalie Peters Webster Medal in 1982 for her horticultural acumen and the Katharine Thomas Cary Medal in 2012 for floral design education. The Martin Medal was first awarded in 1998 and was designed by S. Paul West.
