| HOSPITAL OR INSTITUTION | ||
| HONOR AWARD The Christ Hospital Cincinnati, Ohio Employees: 6 Budget: $200,000 Acres Maintained: 18 |
The dedicated grounds crew, led by director Tom Bates, incorporates the hospital’s core values of excellence, compassion, efficiency, leadership and safety into everything they do. They have created inspiring, accessible designs throughout the property filled with daffodils, mums, black-eyed susans and more, that dazzle the eye that offer a refreshing departure from what is traditionally expected in a hospital environment. That is most notable at the historic entrance and fountain, which have been completely redesigned with carefully selected, drought-tolerant plants. Also notable are the granite benches that are made out of the old curbs from the hospital’s street replacement showing a true commitment to recycling! | |
