Association News SGD bulletin SGD Awards 2013 shortlist announced
The Society received a record number of entries in the SGD Awards this year and after a long day scrutinising submissions, the judging panel concluded that 35 projects should be included on this year’s shortlist. Juliet Sargeant chaired the panel of judges which included landscape architects and university lecturers Bill Burford, Richard Sneesby and Trudie Entwistle and Gardens Editor at Homes & Gardens Arabella
St John-Parker. Juliet said: “This year’s short list is very exciting. It refl ects the wide variety of design projects that our members undertake, from the challenge of making a great garden from a small budget in a small space, to working on large-scale commercial projects. Members of the SGD have the knowledge and experience to tackle whatever is
2
thrown at them and The Awards is a celebration of their creativity and commitment to excellence.” In discussing the awards scheme she explained: “Most of the work of garden designers is never seen – it is undertaken behind the walls and gates of private houses and the whole process of commissioning a garden is a bit of a closed book to most people. The SGD Awards is a unique opportunity to take a glimpse into the world of garden design; to see in action, the application of skill and
knowledge of professional garden designers.” The judging panel will now
undertake a series of visits to some of the shortlisted gardens to conclude which of the entries will be award winners. The result will be announced at a ceremony on 24 January 2014, tickets for which will go on sale later in the year. It is still not too late to enter the
1
Student Award and the Designing for Community Space Award, which is the only award open to the public. Entries need to reach the SGD
by Monday 12 August. For further information please visit
