CarbonStore is proud to be a sponsor of the 2021 Landscape Institute Awards. We are celebrating projects as part of the ‘Excellence in Horticulture and Planting Design’ award, which seeks to showcase innovation and world-class planting design.
The LI Awards are all about celebrating people, place and nature, and the variety of ways that landscape projects can connect them. Building on the success of the 2020 Landscape Institute Awards, LI Awards 2021 is doing more than ever to celebrate the exceptional contribution of landscape designers, managers, planners, researchers and more across the world.
The Awards entries will be recognised for the outstanding achievements in landscape, being judged against four main criteria: Sustainability, Value, Professionalism and Design aspects. Visit the Awards website Landscape Institute for more information.
