Georgia Doubles Appreciation Award
Awarded at the National Convention
Established in 2000 through the generosity of AHS Region 5, the Georgia Doubles Appreciation Award is presented to the hybridizer of the registered double-flowered cultivar judged to be the most outstanding clump observed by attendees of the AHS National Convention tour gardens.
The recipient is determined by votes cast by convention attendees, and the results are announced at the National Convention Awards and Honors Banquet.
