PLANT OF THE YEAROutstanding and Underutilized Native Plants

The Plant of the Year award is given to an outstanding native plant which is underutilized but possesses superior ornamental and ecological attributes. The goal is to encourage the propagation and planting of these plants in our gardens and the landscape.

Winning proposers receive the Freeman Horticulture Medal which was given by Louis and Judy Freeman in honor of their mother, Montine McDaniel Freeman, a member of New Orleans Town Gardeners.
