HERNDON, VA — The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) is proud to announce the recipients of its annual 2009 Environmental Improvement Awards. This year marks the program’s 40th anniversary. Of the 134 projects entered in this year’s awards program, 126 were recognized with an award. The awards breakdown includes three Decade Awards, 38 Grand Awards, 46 Merit Awards, and 39 Distinction Awards.
“It is encouraging to the entire Green Industry to see such excellence," says Awards Committee Chair Will Spiegelberg, CLP, Spiegelberg Landscape Design, Inc., Chicago. "Congratulations from all of us at PLANET.”
The awards program, which is open to only PLANET members, reflects the association’s commitment to creating and preserving the beauty of the landscape and is designed to reward independent landscape, lawn care, and interior plantscaping professionals who execute superior projects.
“The quality of the submittals was overwhelming in many realms,” says Spiegelberg. “The imagination of the designers and architects to bring clients’ dreams to two-dimensional plans, the knowledge of those involved in making the dreams workable, the skill of all those who brought the two-dimensional plan to three-dimensional reality and life, and the care of those who have maintained these dreams after they have become a reality to ensure their well-being.”
Special thanks to the judges for their commitment and expertise. The judging panel consisted of Matt Triplett CLP, CLT, CLIA, Willamette Landscape Services, Inc., Tualatin, OR; Louis Kobus, CLP, Fox Run Nurseries, Inc., Alexandria, VA; Aaron R. Williams, CLP, Williams Landscape & Design, Inc., Williamsburg, VA; and Gerald J. Grossi, CTP-CSL, ArborLawn, Inc., Lansing, MI.
Through a special multimedia show, award recipients will be honored at the PLANET Green Industry Conference Awards Presentation and Reception on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at 5 p.m., in Louisville, KY. The Awards Reception is sponsored by Husqvarna.
