The John Brooks Lifetime Achievement Award

Sponsored by Alitex

This Award is named after one of the Society’s Life Members and granted to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the landscape and garden design profession. The Award is gifted by the Society of Garden Designers Council members. This year the award was given to the leading garden and landscape photographer, Andrew Lawson.

Winner: Charles Jencks

Juliet Sargeant MSGD, Chair of the SGD said: “The Council of the Society of Garden Designers was unanimous in its eagerness to Award the John Brookes Lifetime Achievement Award to Andrew Lawson this year. Through his beautiful work, Andrew has not only highlighted the achievements of many garden designers over the years, but he has also inspired a generation to greatness in their designs. When I see one of Andrew’s photographs, I take a deep breath, and allow my eyes to feast on the colours, light and forms; stresses drain away and I am grateful to be working with landscape and plants. We all felt he was a very worthy recipient of the Award.”
