American Horticultural Society (AHS) has recognized Senior Extension Associate and Senior Lecturer Marcia Eames-Sheavly as a recipient of the Society’s Teaching Award as part of its 2014 Great American Gardeners Awards.
AHS cited Eames-Sheavly’s coordination of landscape art projects such as sod couches and statues and other public art. She also developed the course Experiential Garden-Based Learning in Belize, in which she and a group of students travel to Belize to work with an elementary school and non-profit organization and The Art of Horticulture. A regular participant in the AHS’s annual National Children & Youth Garden Symposium, Eames-Sheavly was a keynote speaker at last year’s event in Denver, Colorado.
