Finalists revealed for the UK’s Association of Professional Landscape & Garden Design (APL) Awards
The finalists for the APL Awards 2024 have been announced at the APL Annual Meeting which took place at Futurescape on 21 November 2023.
With the high standard of landscaping and record number of entries, choosing the finalists was harder than ever for the judging panel.
Judging took place over two days by Rod Winrow (Garden House Design), Rupert Keys (TASK), Bob Sweet (BBC GWL), Richard Barnard (Kings Oak Landscapes), and Phil Tremayne (APL General Manager).
The judges commented, “This year’s entries once again proved the level of skill and innovation that is associated with APL members. It’s been an enjoyable two days and very tough to decide on a supreme winner, but we’ve done it and hope you’ll be as impressed with it as we were.”
The Awards will be announced at the ceremony on 15 March 2024, at The Brewery, 52 Chiswell St, London EC1Y 4SA.
