What we are celebrating
This award celebrates the quality of built landscape design in its purest sense. It is for permanent or temporary sites below one hectare, which have created a new place or improved an old one. These could be private or public gardens, parks and public realm, frontage or urban greening, commercial or mixed-use. The scheme should be functional, useable, beautiful, and sensitive to its context.
This category celebrates projects which demonstrate excellence in overall design concept, planting, materials and features, which have overcome particular site challenges, such as soil drainage or drought issues and projects which set a high standard in issues such as biosecurity, plant health and sustainability. The judges will be looking at how these elements come together to produce an outstanding place.
