BGSU among the best on the landscape

Bowling Green State University is one of 22 campus sites named this summer by the American Society of Landscape Architects as being among 362 of the most beautifully landscaped spots in the country.

ASLA's 47 chapters nominated the sites on the list, which included such notable locales as Disneyland, the U.S. Capitol grounds and New York's Central Park.

"These landscapes have inspired communities, increased serenity, contributed to mental and physical health and given a unique character to our land," said ASLA President Barry Starke. "We want to recognize these national contributions, as well as significant local contributions by hundreds of landscapes all across America."

Only two other campuses in Ohio were chosen to receive a Medallion Award from ASLA, the University of Toledo's Centennial Mall and the University of Dayton.
