Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden's Quarry Garden project has won a prestigious landscape practice award in London.

Designed by Prof. Zhu Yufan from Tsinghua University, the quarry garden received the Dame Sylvia Crowe Award for Outstanding International Contribution to People, Place & Nature on Nov 22. This is the first time the Landscape Institute (LI) has given an award to individuals and organizations outside of Britain.

Founded in 1929, the LI Awards are presented to landscape professionals every year by the royal-chartered professional body for landscape architects.
