Columbus, Ohio – Entries are now being accepted for the 2015 International Plantscape Awards. The awards program is open to all individuals or firms actively involved in interior plantscaping. Entries are judged on their own merit, not against other submissions.
AmericanHort will accept entries through May 1. There are 10 categories specifically for interior plantscape projects, and multiple projects may be submitted for each category. Categories include Special Events and Holiday; Silk, Replica, and Preserved; Horticultural Service; Technician Recognition; Design; Installation; Major Renovation; Atrium and Conservatory; Living Wall; and Patio, Balcony, and Roof Gardens.
Recognition of the winners will be held during Cultivate’15 at the International Plantscape Awards Celebration at 6:30 p.m. on July 13. Cultivate’15 is the largest all-industry horticulture gathering in North America. Cultivate has long been a preferred event for industry professionals, where they get an early look at new plant varieties, technologies, and business solutions.
Information about the International Plantscape Awards is available at AmericanHort.org/Plantscape.
