The article discusses the SGD Awards, a competition organized by the Society of Garden Designers. The Awards gain extensive press coverage and are open to pre-registered SGD members. The article dispels the myth that the same designers win every year, highlighting the wide range of different designers and gardens that have won in the past. The judging panel is chosen by the Chair of Awards and consists of independent judges who are qualified to judge. The judging process involves scoring each submission based on SGD criteria and visiting the shortlisted gardens. Winning gardens are diverse in style and budget, with a focus on long-term sustainability and biodiversity. The article encourages more designers to enter the Awards and emphasizes that professional photographs are not essential for assessment. [Extracted from the article] |
