The State Fair Fall Garden Exhibition Beautifies Fair Park Year-Round

The State Fair Fall Garden Exhibition means two things: Bragging rights, awards and unmatchable exposure for the landscapers; and a living example for visitors to see how to tackle their own green spaces. The contest in 2005 was the fourth and the largest by far. The competition expanded from a field of eight companies in 2002 to more than 50 last year. Participants planted and maintained their respective plots for the 24-day run of the Fair. Many of the companies chose to leave their completed beds in place – beautifying Fair Park year-round.

Designed by Absolutely Bushed

The recipient of the 2005 State Fair Trophy was Greener Pastures. The professional landscaping company chose a maze design – complete with benches – to fill the giant bed located in front of the Automobile Building. Fairgoers enjoyed a rare opportunity to 'sit a spell' and enjoy the lush surroundings.
