Sustainability

The Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award has been won by a broad cross-section of gardening communicators with one common denominator: they had each created a body of work of the highest standard, sustained over several decades.

It is the only Award which is decided by a ballot of the Guild's members and it has been the Guild's policy not to publish a shortlist or influence the voting in any way.

One other constant has been the valued support of the Award sponsor, Bayer Garden and MD, Tommy Gill who has presented the Award to a veritable galaxy of green-fingered creative superstars.
