Last year, successful projects included B|D Landscape Architects’ Lovedon Fields, winners of the Outstanding Winner Award. The project included the creation of allotments, cycle paths, a village green, a biodiverse country park area and natural wildflower meadows to create a community space that helped encourage biodiversity on the edge of historic village, King’s Worthy.
Judges from bodies such as Historic England, Royal Horticulture Society and the Scottish Government selected 24 winners from a 75-project shortlist that featured developments from across the globe.
The 2022 LI Awards were presented by botanist and TV presenter James Wong with keynote speeches from Acting President Noel Farrer, Immediate Past President Jane Findlay and LI’s Chief Executive, Sue Morgan.
