This program will salute the grounds superintendent responsible for maintaining a well-manicured landscape year round. Grand and Honor Awards are offered in 15 categories, covering all types of private, public commercial and industrial landscapes. To qualify for entry, a landscape must be at least two years old and under your continuous maintenance for at least two years. The awards will be presented during the 2007 PGMS School of Grounds Management held in conjunction with 2007 GIE EXPO in Louisville, Ken., from October 24-27, 2007.
