At the recent annual 2010 Nursery & Garden Industry NSW and ACT Awards held in Sydney, Provincial Plants and Landscapes was presented with the ‘NGI Environment Award’ and recognised for its exceptional performance and outstanding achievements over the past year.

As State winner for NSW and the ACT, Lisa Roberts, Owner of Provincial Plants and Landscapes said “it is great to be recognised for practicing what we preach.  We are conscious of our impact on the environment and our ability to make a difference in our own backyard.  We really strive to be sustainable in our daily business practices and in the work that we do. It is also great recognition for our team!” 

The ‘NGI Environment Award’ is a highly competitive award that is open to all industry businesses and acknowledges business initiative to environmental management or community participation in relation to environmental issues.

“What we do is really unique,” said Lisa. “Our chemical free native nurseries operate primarily on renewable energy and practice water use minimisation, our landscape products are boutique and handcrafted, we undertake revegetation projects and create or remodel gardens to be eco-friendly.  A large part of what we do is about public education and I’d like to think that we can be a role model by showing that it is easy to be sustainable, successful and make a difference in the community.”
