Lewis F. Lipp
1966 Distinguished Service Medal
For his outstanding success as a plantsman, inventor, writer and teacher. Particularly and poignantly for his extraordinary program of hortotherapy by which he has brought happiness and gainful work to the aged, retarded and handicapped.
The Distinguished Service Medal is awarded for distinguished service in the field of horticulture.
The Distinguished Service Medal was endowed in 1953 by Priscilla Sleeper Sterling (Mrs. Robert D. Sterling), Garden Club of Dublin and Monadnock Garden Club, both Zone I. Although Priscilla’s primary interest was in conservation, she believed that horticulture played an integral part in the quality of life. Elizabeth Rhodes Reynolds designed the medal first awarded in 1955.
