What: Landscape Awards Nominations Begin
When: Friday, May 13, 2011 – 11:00 a.m.
Where: Baldwin & Shell – 1000 West Capitol Street

The Little Rock City Beautiful Commission announces its nomination kickoff for the 32nd annual Landscape Awards. These are given to businesses that go beyond the City’s requirements to develop or improve their landscaping.

While its easy to see landscaping as merely icing on the cake, research has shown that its impact has much more depth. Landscaping can increase property and resale values, lower energy costs, improve business and sales, and create positive perceptions for areas.

Past winners of the CBC’s Landscape Awards will be on hand Friday to discuss what this award meant to them.
