The Ambler and Philadelphia locations of Temple University were recognized for their educational exhibition “Considerations for regeneration: an artistic reaction to our changing environment”. Junior Landscape Architecture Majors Sophia Downs and Justin Border, from Temple's Ambler Campus, shared their overview of their attitude to “Garden of Tomorrow”. Instead of achieving a more futuristic approach, the students of the temple focused on using the resources already available.

Their exhibition was built exclusively from local plants and materials that were either found on the AMBLER campus and were donated by local companies or materials that were reused from previous flower exhibitions. These students focused on a morning with common resources that are equally available to everyone.

Temple's “Reflections on Regeneration” was awarded the PHS gold medal, the Alfred M. Campbell Memorial Trophy and the Bulkeley medal.
