The Fredonia Hotel is located in downtown Nacogdoches and will be recognized for creating a colorful landscape that is in keeping with the period of the hotel’s restoration and carrying the design concepts outside to the variety of plant selections set in interesting patterns that add architectural features to the entrance, the courtyard, and the parking areas.
“We are so thrilled that we have been selected to receive the landscape leadership award,” said Ryan Russell, director of special events at the Fredonia Hotel. “We are very proud of the beautiful landscaping on our property.”
