The BALI National Landscape Awards have long stood as the pinnacle of landscaping excellence, celebrating the people, projects and businesses setting the standard for creativity, quality and professionalism. This December, this extraordinary story reaches an extraordinary milestone.
On Friday 4 December 2026, the very best of the landscaping industry will gather at JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, for the 50th BALI National Landscape Awards – a landmark celebration of the pioneers, innovators, forward-thinkers and industry leaders who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.
Reaching such a milestone is an achievement in itself. It speaks to the longevity, perseverance and unwavering commitment to quality that has underpinned BALI for over five decades, as well as the strength and ambition of its members. Year after year, the Awards have evolved alongside the industry, recognising those who are not simply delivering exceptional landscapes, but inspiring others and helping to shape what comes next.
The Awards, which are proudly sponsored by BALI member Origin Enterprises – an international group focused on sustainable land use which provides specialist advice, products, services and technologies across agriculture and “Living Landscapes” to help customers improve land productivity while supporting environmental sustainability – will bring together the industry’s shining stars for a celebration befitting this remarkable milestone. Origin Enterprises returns as sponsor following its support of last year’s Awards, continuing its commitment to an event that showcases the very best of the BALI community.
And while the anniversary provides extra reason for celebration, it is important to note it is the people behind the businesses who make them so special.
BALI Chief Executive Wayne Grills said: “Reaching the 50th year of the BALI National Landscape Awards makes this an especially proud moment for our industry. These winners represent not just outstanding projects, but the people, partnerships and businesses behind them – all of whom are helping to showcase the extraordinary breadth of talent within the BALI community.”
He continued: “From transformative public spaces and exceptional private gardens to pioneering approaches to biodiversity, regeneration and landscape maintenance, this year’s winners demonstrate the positive impact our industry has on the places where people live, work and spend their time.”
This is more than just an awards ceremony. It is a celebration of 50 years of ambition, achievement and progress, and of the remarkable people who have helped establish landscaping as a profession defined by creativity, expertise and excellence.
Whether you are celebrating a winning project, supporting colleagues, meeting fellow industry leaders or simply want to be part of this once-in-a-generation occasion, it is a date not to be missed.
Tickets are now on sale, with individual places and tables of 10 or 12 available.
So come and raise a glass to five decades of excellence – and to the people who will define the next 50 years.
50 years, one exceptional industry, one very special celebration.
