According to the judges, 'In an effort to bring joy to The University of Kansas Medical Center's campus and surrounding communities, their twenty-themed botanical gardens highlight the best that landscape has to offer in the Central Plains. The medical center is focused on the healing aspect that horticulture provides and the University's grounds are full of life with vibrant plants that include annual flower displays, manicured lawns, and a revitalized tree program. A conscious focus on seasonal transitions bring a steady year of color and interest and communicate a dedication to its campus and patrons.'
