In 2013, the Garden Writers Association honored Ferguson Caras with the Wilfred J. Jung Distinguished Service Award. GWA describes the award as follows.
The Wilfred J. Jung Distinguished Service Medal is presented to a GWA Allied Trade member that, as a company, has promoted gardening in North America, helped expand the profession of garden communications and has supported the overall objectives of the Garden Writers Association and its membership. Candidates are nominated by the membership, recommended by the Honors Committee and elected by the Board of Directors.
We are proud to share this honor with some very distinguished organizations:
