2020 Australian Institute of Horticulture Awards
The Australian Institute of Horticulture (AIH) recognizes the commitment, professionalism, leadership, innovation, creativity and excellence of those who have made a significant contribution to the horticultural industry.
In 2020, the annual AIH awards night, planned to be held in Sydney to celebrate the institute’s 60th year, had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions – a decision not made lightly by the AIH council. Once restrictions were lifted, the council presented all awards to their winners individually and highlighted the wonderful works of these companies, groups and individuals through our various media channels. In 2021, the council hopes that this year’s winners will have the opportunity to come together at an awards night in Sydney to further showcase these horticultural accomplishments.
