This year, Mark participated in the construction of two different full-size gardens &mdash Succulent Origami and Transience: A Leap Across. Succulent Origami won the Silver medal and Transience came home with the Gold.

Here's Mark's take on the Origami Garden:

"The core of a garden is for living and bringing different kinds of people together and enjoying some time. We have a lot of people coming together with different backgrounds and completey different views on life, and one garden and it's just coming out wonderfully."
