On Thursday night, September 18th, Denver Botanic Gardens was presented with two top-category awards from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) for the development and design of Denver Botanic Gardens’ 2007 Annual Report and the “Inside the Gardens” bi-monthly newsletter. Lyn Berry-Helmlinger, the Gardens’ Communications Editor, is responsible for writing, editing and coordinating both publications. Scott Dressel-Martin, the Gardens’ contracted photographer, contributed the award-winning photography for each. Both Lyn and Scott are examples of why Denver Botanic Gardens is one of the top botanic gardens in the world. The success of any organization depends on the people that work there. Both Lyn and Scott are the talented and committed individuals whose contributions are allowing Denver Botanic Gardens to continue to Flourish! Congratulations!
