Bask in the glow of a vibrant Mediterranean evening as we celebrate the best of the green industry.

Inspired by the sun-kissed beauty of the Amalfi Coast, the charm of the Greek Islands, and the vibrant laneways of Cinque Terre, this year’s NGINA Annual Awards Gala Dinner promises an evening of elegance, celebration, and community.

Imagine hand-painted tile motifs, cascading flowers, and the scent of citrus and wild herbs in the air as we transport you to an unforgettable European summer, and to the heart of an incredible industry.

This vibrant evening will celebrate the remarkable achievements and innovative practices that shape our industry as we announce the winners in various award categories, including Best Production Nurseries, Retail Nurseries, Employer, Young Leader, People's Choice Award, and more.

We’re delighted to welcome Simon Holloway (TV presenter and Vegepod Head of Community) as our master of ceremonies for the evening. With his warmth, wit, and passion for our industry, Simon will guide us through a night to remember, full of inspiration, recognition, and a few surprises along the way.

This is an event not to be missed, as we not only award and recognise but bring together the gardening elite, industry influencers, and esteemed guests.

Let’s toast to growth, celebrate achievements, and dream big for the future of our industry.

We look forward to welcoming you to the NGINA Annual Awards Gala Dinner 2025 - where summer elegance meets industry excellence.
