Each year, Landscape Ontario members submit projects, designs and displays in an annual competition called the Landscape Ontario Awards of Excellence -- the Oscars of the green industry. The annual competition features more than 40 categories of entries judged by a panel of respected horticulture industry experts. Only those entries deemed truly excellent are honoured with awards. If a category's entries do not meet the judges' criteria for excellence, no award is given for that category.

The Garden Centre awards were handed out on September 16, 2015 during a ceremony held at Thrive '15 at the Ancaster Fairgrounds in Jerseyville,ON.

Winners for the rest of the 2016 program were announced during the awards ceremony held on January 12, 2016 in conjunction with the Congress 2016 trade show. For full details, visit www.locongress.com
