At the 2010 JSR (Jane Silverstein Ries) Fall Celebration, September 23, 2010, the JSR Award was presented to the Denver Botanic Gardens.

The Colorado ASLA Chapter was founded in 1973. The charitable arm of the chapter is the JSR Foundation, a nonprofit named for Jane Silverstein Ries, FASLA and dedicated to the sustainability and stewardship of natural and designed landscapes in the Rocky Mountain region. Jane Silverstein Ries was the first woman to pursue a career in landscape architecture in Colorado and held the third landscape architecture license in the state. Her career in landscape architecture spanned nearly six decades. Ian Anderson, ASLA, the 2010 chapter president, notes the chapter has been active in planning the design tracks for the 2011 ProGreen Expo (Feb. 8-11), and recognized in particular the efforts of Robby Layton, Kurt Munding and Jill Wuertz to increase the level of planning and design presentations for the Expo to include urban agriculture, historic landscapes, living walls, community health and urban water systems.
