Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame
It is a great honor to be recognized by your peers for your contributions to the industry in which you work. In 2003, Teri and Joel Pesapane were inducted into the Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame, as a couple. A committee comprised of previous inductees nominated a select group of five(5) people from across the United States as their candidates for the award. The Pesapane’s were selected for the honor. At a banquet in Los Angeles in August 2003, they were presented to the audience by their dear friend and associate, Dr. Joe Cialone, who told their story and presented them with the award. For more information about the award and the Pesapane’s in particular visit the CIPA - California Interior Plant Association.
