A LANDSCAPING company is celebrating after scooping a hat-trick of awards at what has been dubbed the “gardening Oscars”.

Gardens For Life took home three awards at the annual Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) awards last month.

The company, based at The Dutch Nursery in Great North Road, Brookmans Park, was named Overall Supreme Winner, as well as winning the Maintenance award and retaining the Soft Landscaping gong.

Managing director and Times Magazine contributor Antony Henn said: “The APL awards are a bit like the gardening Oscars!

“It’s such a thrill to win the Soft Landscaping category again and this year we won the Maintenance category also.

“To cap it all we were given the Supreme award for our lake planting scheme. It’s given me and the team a tremendous boost.”
