judges unanimously agreed.<br>
<br>
The Sausalito-based <a href="http://www.sibbettgroup.com/">Sibbett Group</a>
created a series of interconnected gardens with such names as
“Honeycomb Hideout,” “Nectar Nook” and
“Pollinator Patch” to win the international bee-friendly garden
design competition, a gift to the <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Davis</st1:place></st1:City>, from the Häagen-Dazs® brand. <br>
<br>
The design, the work of landscape architects Donald Sibbett and Ann F.
Baker, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard and exhibit designer Chika
Kurotaki, will be brought to life this summer on a half-acre site at the
Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Bee Biology Road</st1:address></st1:Street> on the UC Davis
campus. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Last December
Häagen-Dazs ice cream committed $125,000 to the UC Davis Department of
Entomology for the garden project. This encompasses site planning,
preparation and the design competition. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The key goals of
the garden are to provide bees with a year-around food source, to raise
public awareness about the plight of honey bees and to encourage visitors to
plant bee-friendly gardens of their own. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> “We’ll
not only be providing a pollen and nectar source for the millions of bees on <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Bee Biology Road</st1:address></st1:Street>,
but we will also be demonstrating the beauty and value of pollinator
gardens,” said design competition coordinator Melissa
“Missy” Borel, program manager for the <a
href="http://ccuh.ucdavis.edu/">California Center for Urban Horticulture</a>.
“My hope is that it will inspire everyone to plant for
pollinators!”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> “The
winning design fits beautifully with the campus mission of education and
outreach, and it will tremendously benefit our honeybees at Bee
Biology,” said <a
href="http://entomology.ucdavis.edu/faculty/facpage.cfm?id=kimsey">Lynn
Kimsey</a>, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and
director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology. “The garden will be a
campus destination.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Kimsey served as
one of eight judges who unanimously selected the design from among 30
entries, submitted from as far away as <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The winning team will be
honored at the garden dedication in October, where they will be presented
with an engraved name plaque. They will also be given the sweet reward of
free Häagen-Dazs ice cream for a year. <br>
<br>
“We had so many wonderful garden concepts submitted that making the
final choice was really difficult,” Kimsey said. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The Sibbett Group
design zeroed in on sustainability and visitor experience. The four
interconnected gardens, “Honeycomb Hideout,” “Nectar
Nook,” “Pollinator Patch” and “My Backyard”
form the “physical and interpretive framework for our honey bee haven
design,” the authors said. A series of trails connect the gardens.
Trellises define the entry ways and reinforce the passage to the next space. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>“Incorporated
into each of the four sections are gathering spaces that serve as orientation
points for guided tours, facilitated programs and ‘chat time’
with beekeepers and entomologists,” the team explained. Identification
labels will help visitors know more about the plants, or what they can plant
in their own yards.<br>
<br>
The design also includes a “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Learning</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>” building
and paths labeled “Orchard Alley,” “Save the Bee
Sanctuary,” “<st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Round
Dance Circle</st1:address></st1:Street>” and “<st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Waggle Dance Way</st1:address></st1:Street>.”
<br>
<br>
Judges initially narrowed the 30 designs to six, and then focused on
diversity (the winning design has 40 different plants), bloom balance,
vision, generational learning, cost feasibility and attention to detail.
Judges also declared the Sibbett Group design “the most river or
environmentally-friendly.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>In addition to
Borel and Kimsey, the panel of judges included: David Fujino, executive
director, California Center for Urban Horticulture at UC Davis; Aaron Majors,
construction department manager, Cagwin & Dorward Landscape Contractors,
based in Novato; Diane McIntyre, senior public relations manager,
Häagen-Dazs ice cream; Heath Schenker, professor of environmental
design, UC Davis; Jacob Voit, sustainability manager and construction project
manager, Cagwin and Dorward Landscape Contractors; and Kathy Keatley Garvey,
communications specialist, UC Davis Department of Entomology.<br>
<br>
Schenker praised the Sibbett Group design as “beautiful and very
functional.” “The interpretive elements are imaginative,”
said Schenker. “I think this design team has a great range of expertise
and has taken a very well-rounded approach to the program.”<br>
<br>
Majors said the cost estimate was well organized and the cost of materials
very realistic. “The introduction outlined how the design was scalable
which shows the collaborative approach of the four-person team and their
willingness to work with budget,” he said. <br>
<br>
Honey bees pollinate more than 100 different <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> agricultural crops, valued
at $15 billion. However, in recent years, the nation’s beekeepers have
reported losing from one-third to all of their bees due to a mysterious
phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder. <br>
<br>
In response, the Häagen-Dazs brand launched the "Häagen-Dazs Loves Honey
Bees" campaign in February 2008, committing a total $250,000
donation for bee research to UC Davis and Pennsylvania State
University, and redoubled its efforts in 2009 with a second $250,000
donation, bringing the brand’s total donation for honey bee research to
a half million dollars. It also formed a scientific advisory Bee Board,
created an <a href="http://www.helpthehoneybees.com/">educational Web site</a>
and introduced the new Vanilla Honey Bee ice cream flavor. Bees are crucial
to nearly 50 percent of their all-natural flavors.<br>
<br>
During the last several months, the public has answered the Häagen-Dazs
brand's call to action by donating more than $30,000 to support additional
honey bee research at UC Davis. In addition, numerous companies have launched
programs to donate a portion of their proceeds to UC Davis honey bee
research. <br>
