Landscaping success for Hertfordshire based GardensforLife
Hertfordshire based GardensforLife have been commended for their quality
landscaping work, at the annual Association of Professional Landscapers awards
ceremony. This year’s sell-out event took place at the stunning Kensington Roof
Gardens in London on Wednesday 14th March 2012.
The company based near Hatfield received the Commended award for their Fountain
Garden which was in the Soft Landscaping category.
The judges commented: “We liked the garden because it shows nice planting
combinations. The passion for horticulture came through in the scheme and the entry
showed transformation of the garden fountain, the focal point of the project.
Commenting on their success, Antony Henn of GardensforLife said “This project is
part of a very large garden that we are developing over the coming years. Its a real
boost to our company to get this award and the team really loved being part of the
day in London. They are all so uplifted by our win and are loving telling our clients!”
Chair of the judging panel and APL, Mark Gregory said, “There were some
exceptional entries this year and there were several that were outstanding. Many
