2002 Elvira Broome Doolan Medal

Presented to Margaret and Trammell Crow, who have spent their entire lives involved in the greening of their city, county and state. They have planted trees, installed landscaping, sculpture and parks for over a half-century. "Trees are the Answer" is the motto of this energetic couple.

The Elvira Broome Doolan Medal is in recognition of innovative work in landscape architecture with emphasis on city planning and civic improvement in urban areas.

The Elvira Broome Doolan Medal was endowed by the estate of Jerome K. Doolan in memory of his wife, Elvira Broome Doolan, a member of Pasadena Garden Club and The Garden Club of Santa Barbara, both Zone XII, and GCA president (1968–71). Elvira studied landscape architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. The medal was designed by Charles Parker in 1991 and first awarded in 1993. Elvira was the 1972 recipient of the GCA’s Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne Medal for her outstanding achievements in garden design and for her creative ability and originality.
