An al fresco lunch followed the morning lectures, where the LongHouse Visionary Award was officially presented to Edwina von Gal by Maya Lin who saluted her saying, “You are a crusader, and we need you, because time is short. We need to save the planet.” The LongHouse Land, Place, Spirit Award was presented by Deborah Nevins to Ngoc Minh Ngo. The LongHouse Horticultural Award was presented with much emotion by Elizabeth Lear to LongHouse horticulturist, Holger Winega, who is returning to private practice, “I am moving on but will not be forgetting LongHouse,” said the much-loved expert.
