The prize was presented during the Closing Ceremony of this major Expo which has attracted over five million visitors over the last six months.
Chairman of the International Honorary Jury and Secretary General of AIPH, Tim Briercliffe, commented on the winning garden saying: “The Shanghai Garden stood out from all the 30 gardens at the Expo. Its brilliant design provided different perspectives at different heights and made use of water, plants and well-chosen landscaping materials to show how it is possible to create a beautiful oasis in the middle of a city. In addition, the plants selected were perfect and the maintenance throughout the Expo was outstanding. All the jury were unanimous in identifying this garden as the winner.”
